Psalms 8:2

2 ^aOut of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established ^bstrength because of your foes,
to still ^cthe enemy and the avenger.

Psalms 25:14

14 ^dThe friendship ^{▼▼Or The secret counsel} of the Lord is for those who fear him,
and he makes known to them his covenant.

Isaiah 29:18-19

18 In that day ^fthe deaf shall hear
^gthe words of a book,
and out of their gloom and darkness
^hthe eyes of the blind shall see.
19 ⁱThe meek shall obtain fresh joy in the Lord,
and the poor among mankind shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.

Isaiah 35:8

8 ^jAnd a highway shall be there,
and it shall be called the Way of Holiness;
^kthe unclean shall not pass over it.
It shall belong to those who walk on the way;
even if they are fools, they shall not go astray. ^{▼▼Or if they are fools, they shall not wander in it}

Matthew 13:11-16

11 And he answered them, ^m“To you it has been given to know ⁿthe secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 ^oFor to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, ^peven what he has will be taken away. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables, because ^qseeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, ^rnor do they understand. 14 Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says:

^s“‘“You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.”
15 For this people’s heart has grown dull,
and with their ears ^tthey can barely hear,
and ^utheir eyes they have closed,
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and ^vunderstand with their heart
and ^wturn, and I would heal them.’
16 But ^xblessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.

Matthew 16:17

17 And Jesus answered him, ^y“Blessed are you, ^zSimon Bar-Jonah! For ^aaflesh and blood has not revealed this to you, ^abbut my Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 21:16

16 and they said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes; ^achave you never read,

^ad“‘Out of the mouth of ^aeinfants and nursing babies
you have prepared praise’?”
