For I knew that you would deal very treacherously,
And were called (A)a transgressor from the womb.

John 12:39-40
New King James Version
39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:
40 “He(A) has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts,
(B)Lest they should see with their eyes,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.”
Matthew 13:13-15
New King James Version
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:
(A)‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not (B)perceive;
15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears (C)are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have (D)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 [a]should (E)heal them.’

New King James Version
7 “Remember! Do not forget how you (A)provoked the Lord your God to wrath in the wilderness. (B)From the day that you departed from the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against the Lord. 8 Also (C)in Horeb you provoked the Lord to wrath, so that the Lord was angry enough with you to have destroyed you. 9 (D)When I went up into the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant which the Lord made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and (E)forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water. 10 (F)Then the Lord delivered to me two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them were all the words which the Lord had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire (G)in[a] the day of the assembly. 11 And it came to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the Lord gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.
12 “Then the Lord said to me, (H)‘Arise, go down quickly from here, for your people whom you brought out of Egypt have acted corruptly; they have (I)quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them; they have made themselves a molded image.’
13 “Furthermore (J)the Lord spoke to me, saying, ‘I have seen this people, and indeed (K)they are a [b]stiff-necked people. 14 (L)Let Me alone, that I may destroy them and (M)blot out their name from under heaven; (N)and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.’
15 (O)“So I turned and came down from the mountain, and (P)the mountain burned with fire; and the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands. 16 And (Q)I looked, and behold, you had sinned against the Lord your God—had made for yourselves a molded calf! You had turned aside quickly from the way which the Lord had commanded you. 17 Then I took the two tablets and threw them out of my two hands and (R)broke them before your eyes. 18 And I (S)fell[c] down before the Lord, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you committed in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. 19 (T)For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which the Lord was angry with you, to destroy you. (U)But the Lord listened to me at that time also. 20 And the Lord was very angry with Aaron and would have destroyed him; so I prayed for Aaron also at the same time. 21 Then I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire and crushed it and ground it very small, until it was as fine as dust; and I (V)threw its dust into the brook that descended from the mountain.
22 “Also at (W)Taberah and (X)Massah and (Y)Kibroth Hattaavah you [d]provoked the Lord to wrath. 23 Likewise, (Z)when the Lord sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, ‘Go up and possess the land which I have given you,’ then you rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God, and (AA)you did not believe Him nor obey His voice. 24 (AB)You have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you.
