Who is talking, "Go and tell this people - Hear ye indeed, but they understood not; and see ye indeed, but they perceived not"? (2 Nephi 16:9)

Who is talking, "Go and tell this people - Hear ye indeed, but they understood not; and see ye indeed, but they perceived not"? (2 Nephi 16:9)

(I must have had some major issues with this chapter. So far every single question this week has been from there!)

This is exactly comparable to Isaiah 6:9.

I really love how sometimes Jesus Christ speaks plainly about the fulfillment of prophecies in the Old Testament. In Matthew 13:14-15, Jesus explains why he teaches in parables. One reason is to fulfill "the prophecy of Esaias" (aka Isaiah).

Answer:
In this verse Isaiah was speaking Messianically, meaning as if he were Jesus Christ.
