30 But ^aSihon the king of ^bHeshbon would not let us pass by him, for the Lord your God ^chardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that he might give him into your hand, as he is this day.

Proverbs 20:12

12 ^dThe hearing ear and the seeing eye,
^ethe Lord has made them both.

Isaiah 6:9-10

9 And he said, “Go, and say to this people:

^f“‘Keep on hearing, ^{▼▼Or Hear indeed} but do not understand;
keep on seeing, ^{▼▼Or see indeed} but do not perceive.’
10 ⁱMake the heart of this people ^jdull, ^{▼▼Hebrew fat}
and their ears heavy,
and blind their eyes;
^llest they see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”

Isaiah 63:17

17 O Lord, why do you make us wander from your ways
and ^mharden our heart, so that we fear you not?
ⁿReturn for the sake of your servants,
the tribes of your heritage.

Ezekiel 36:26

26 And I will give you ^oa new heart, and ^pa new spirit I will put within you. ^qAnd I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

Matthew 13:11-15

11 And he answered them, ^r“To you it has been given to know ^sthe secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 ^tFor to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, ^ueven what he has will be taken away. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables, because ^vseeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, ^wnor do they understand. 14 Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says:

^x“‘“You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.”
15 For this people’s heart has grown dull,
and with their ears ^ythey can barely hear,
and ^ztheir eyes they have closed,
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and ^aaunderstand with their heart
and ^abturn, and I would heal them.’

John 8:43

43 ^acWhy do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot ^adbear to hear my word.
