Acts 28:26

26 ^d“‘Go to this people, and say,
^e“You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.”

Romans 11:8-11

8 as it is written,

^f“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
^geyes that would not see
and ears that would not hear,
down to this very day.”

a stumbling block and a retribution for them;
10 let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see,
and bend their backs forever.”
