Who Has Believed Our Report?
37 But although He had done so many (C)signs before them, they did not believe in Him, 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:
(D)“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(E) has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts,
(F)Lest they should see with their eyes,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.”

Job 24:13-17
New King James Version
13 “There are those who rebel against the light;
They do not know its ways
Nor abide in its paths.
14 (A)The murderer rises with the light;
He kills the poor and needy;
And in the night he is like a thief.
15 (B)The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight,
(C)Saying, ‘No eye will see me’;
And he [a]disguises his face.
16 In the dark they break into houses
Which they marked for themselves in the daytime;
(D)They do not know the light.
17 For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death;
If someone recognizes them,
They are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
