Psalms 69:22-28

22 ^aLet their own ^btable before them become a snare;
^cand when they are at peace, let it become a trap. ^{▼▼Hebrew; a slight revocalization yields (compare Septuagint, Syriac, Jerome) a snare, and retribution and a trap}
23 ^eLet their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see,
^fand make their loins tremble continually.
24 Pour out your indignation upon them,
and let your burning anger overtake them.
25 ^gMay their camp be a desolation;
let no one dwell in their tents.
26 For they ^hpersecute him whom ⁱyou have struck down,
and they recount the pain of ^jthose you have wounded.
27 ^kAdd to them punishment upon punishment;
may they have no acquittal from you. ^{▼▼Hebrew may they not come into your righteousness}
28 Let them be ^mblotted out of the book of the living;
let them not be ⁿenrolled among the righteous.

Jeremiah 13:16-17

16 ^oGive glory to the Lord your God
^pbefore he brings darkness,
before your feet stumble
on the twilight mountains,
and ^qwhile you look for light
he turns it into gloom
and makes it ^rdeep darkness.
17 But if you will not listen,
^smy soul will weep in secret for your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly and run down with tears,
because the Lord’s flock has been taken captive.

John 12:39-40

39 Therefore they ^tcould not believe. For again Isaiah said,

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

Romans 11:7-10

7 What then? ^wIsrael failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest ^xwere hardened, 8 as it is written,

^y“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
^zeyes that would not see
and ears that would not hear,
down to this very day.”
9 And David says,

^aa“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
a stumbling block and a retribution for them;
10 let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see,
and bend their backs forever.”

2 Corinthians 3:14

14 But ^abtheir minds were ^achardened. For to this day, ^adwhen they read ^aethe old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away.
