Isaiah 6:10

10 aMake the heart of this people bdull,
Hebrew fat

and their ears heavy,
and blind their eyes;
dlest they see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”

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.

Matthew 13:14-15

14Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says:

e“‘“You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.”
15For this people’s heart has grown dull,
and with their ears fthey can barely hear,
and gtheir eyes they have closed,
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and hunderstand with their heart
and iturn, and I would heal them.’

John 12:40

40 j“He has blinded their eyes
and khardened their heart,
lest they see with their eyes,
and understand with their heart, and turn,
and I would heal them.”

2 Corinthians 3:14

14But ltheir minds were mhardened. For to this day, nwhen they read othe old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away.

2 Corinthians 4:4

4In their case pthe god of this world qhas blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing rthe light of sthe gospel of the glory of Christ, twho is the image of God.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12

10and with all wicked deception for uthose who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11Therefore vGod sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe wwhat is false, 12in order that all may be condemned xwho did not believe the truth but yhad pleasure in unrighteousness.
