Romans 11:8-10

8as it is written,

aGod gave them a spirit of stupor,
beyes that would not see
and ears that would not hear,
down to this very day.”
9And David says,

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

2 Corinthians 2:16

10and with all wicked deception for gthose who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11Therefore hGod sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe iwhat is false, 12in order that all may be condemned jwho did not believe the truth but khad pleasure in unrighteousness.

1 Peter 2:8

8and

l“A stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offense.”
