Romans 11:7-8

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

^deyes that would not see
and ears that would not hear,
down to this very day.”

2 Corinthians 3:14

14 But ^etheir minds were ^fhardened. For to this day, ^gwhen they read ^hthe old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away.

2 Corinthians 4:3-4

3 And even ⁱif our gospel is veiled, ^jit is veiled to ^kthose who are perishing. 4 In their case ^lthe god of this world ^mhas blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing ⁿthe light of ^othe gospel of the glory of Christ, ^pwho is the image of God.

Ephesians 4:18

18 They ^qare darkened in their understanding, ^ralienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to ^stheir hardness of heart.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-11

10 and with all wicked deception for ^tthose who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore ^uGod sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe ^vwhat is false,
