97. “The dead” the ones whose consciences are dead and whose stubbornness, obstinacy and love of the usage and custom have deprived them of the sense of discrimination between the truth and falsehood.

98. That is, “Who not only close their ears against what you say, but slink away from the place where they fear they aught hear what you say.”

(80) Indeed, you will not make the dead hear, nor will you make the deaf hear the call when they have turned their backs retreating.
