Isaiah 6:9-10
New King James Version
9 And He said, “Go, and (A)tell this people:
‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’
10 “Make (B)the heart of this people dull,
And their ears heavy,
And shut their eyes;
(C)Lest they see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart,
And return and be healed.”
Proverbs 20:12
New King James Version
12 (A)The hearing ear and the seeing eye,
The Lord has made them both.
Isaiah 63:17
New King James Version
17 O Lord, why have You (A)made us stray from Your ways,
And hardened our heart from Your fear?
Return for Your servants’ sake,
The tribes of Your inheritance.
James 1:13-17
New King James Version
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, (A)when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, (B)brings forth death.
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. 17 (C)Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, (D)with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

Romans 11:7-10
New King James Version
7 What then? (A)Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were (B)blinded. 8 Just as it is written:
(C)“God has given them a spirit of stupor,
(D)Eyes that they should not see
And ears that they should not hear,
To this very day.”
9 And David says:
(E)“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
A stumbling block and a recompense to them.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see,
And bow down their back always.”
Acts 28:26-27
New King James Version
26 saying,
(A)‘Go to this people and say:
“Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand;
And seeing you will see, and not perceive;
27 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.” ’
John 12:38-40
New King James Version
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:
(A)“Lord, who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:
40 “He(B) has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts,
(C)Lest they should see with their eyes,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.”
Matthew 13:11-15
New King James Version
11 He answered and said to them, “Because (A)it has been given to you to know the [a]mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 (B)For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:
(C)‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not (D)perceive;
15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears (E)are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have (F)closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I [b]should (G)heal them.’
