Deuteronomy 29:4
4But to this day athe Lord has not given you a heart to understand or eyes to see or ears to hear.Psalms 69:23
23 bLet their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see,cand make their loins tremble continually.
Psalms 115:5-8
5They have mouths, dbut do not speak;eyes, but do not see.
6They have ears, but do not hear;
noses, but do not smell.
7They have hands, but do not feel;
feet, but do not walk;
and they do not make a sound in their throat.
8 eThose who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.
Isaiah 6:9-10
9And 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 42:18-20
Israel’s Failure to Hear and See
18 Hear, you deaf,and look, you blind, that you may see!
19Who is blind but my servant,
or deaf as my messenger whom I send?
Who is blind as my dedicated one, ▼
▼Or as the one at peace with me
or blind as the servant of the Lord?
20 nHe sees many things, but does not observe them;
ohis ears are open, but he does not hear.
Isaiah 44:18
18They know not, nor do they discern, for he has shut their eyes, so that they cannot see, and their hearts, so that they cannot understand.Mark 4:12
12 pso that“'they qmay indeed see but not perceive,
and may indeed hear but not understand,
lest they rshould turn and be forgiven.'”
