Jeremiah 4:22

22 “For ^amy people are foolish;
they know me not;
they are stupid children;
they have no understanding.
^bThey are ‘wise’—in doing evil!
But how to do good they know not.”

Hosea 4:6

6 My people are destroyed ^cfor lack of knowledge;
^dbecause you have rejected knowledge,
I reject you ^efrom being a priest to me.
And since you have forgotten the law of your God,
^fI also will forget your children.

Matthew 13:13-14

13 This is why I speak to them in parables, because ^gseeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, ^hnor do they understand. 14 Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says:

ⁱ“‘“You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.”

Matthew 13:19

19 When anyone hears the word of ^jthe kingdom and ^kdoes not understand it, ^lthe evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path.

Titus 3:3

3 For ^mwe ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another.

1 John 5:20

20 And we know that the Son of God has come and ⁿhas given us understanding, so that we may know ^ohim who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and ^peternal life.
