28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over(A) to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
John 12:39-43
New International Version
39 For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:
40 “He has blinded their eyes
and hardened their hearts,
so they can neither see with their eyes,
nor understand with their hearts,
nor turn—and I would heal them.”[a](A)
41 Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory(B) and spoke about him.(C)
42 Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him.(D) But because of the Pharisees(E) they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue;(F) 43 for they loved human praise(G) more than praise from God.(H)

11 For you this whole vision(J) is nothing but words sealed(K) in a scroll. And if you give the scroll to someone who can read, and say, “Read this, please,” they will answer, “I can’t; it is sealed.” 12 Or if you give the scroll to someone who cannot read, and say, “Read this, please,” they will answer, “I don’t know how to read.”
13 The Lord says:
“These people(L) come near to me with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,(M)
but their hearts are far from me.(N)
Their worship of me
is based on merely human rules they have been taught.[a](O)
14 Therefore once more I will astound these people
with wonder upon wonder;(P)
the wisdom of the wise(Q) will perish,
the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish.(R)”
