- the LORD[YHWH]:
- "And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ Moses,ª When thou goest²°¹ to returnª° into Egypt,ª seeª° that thou doª° all¹ those wondersª beforeª Pharaoh,ª which¹ I have putª° in thine hand:ª but I¹ will hardenª°¹ his heart,ª that he shall not¹ let¹ the peopleª go.ª°" {Exd 4:21} + "But the LORDª hardenedª°¹ Pharaoh'sª heart,ª so that he would not¹ let¹ the childrenª of Israelª go.ª°" {Exd 10:20} + "But Sihonª kingª of Heshbonª wouldª° not¹ let us passª° by him: for¹ the LORDª thy Godª hardenedª°¹ his spirit,ª and made his heart² obstinate,ª°¹¹ that¹ he might deliverª° him into thy hand,ª as [appeareth] this¹ day.ª" {Deu 2:30} + "And it came to pass,¹ as he talkedª° with¹ him, that [the king] saidª° unto him, Art thou madeª° of the king'sª counsel?ª° forbear;ª° why¹ shouldest thou be smitten?ª° Then the prophetª forbare,ª° and said,ª° I knowª° that¹ Godª hath determinedª° to destroyª° thee, because¹ thou hast doneª° this,¹ and hast not¹ hearkenedª° unto my counsel.ª" {2Ch 25:16} + "And he said,ª° Go,²°¹ and tellª° this¹ people,ª Hear²° ye indeed,ª° but understandª° not;¹ and see²° ye indeed,ª° but perceiveª° not.¹ ... Make the heartª of this¹ peopleª fat,²°¹ and make their earsª heavy,ª° and shutª° their eyes;ª lest¹ they seeª° with their eyes,ª and hearª° with their ears,ª and understandª° with their heart,ª and convert,ª° and be healed.ª°" {Isa 6:9-10} + "He feedethª° on ashes:ª a deceivedª° heartª hath turned him aside,ª° that he cannot¹ deliverª°¹ his soul,ª nor¹ say,ª° [Is there] not¹ a lieª in my right hand?ª" {Isa 44:20} + "Sonª of man,ª these¹ men²¹ have set upª° their idolsª in¹ their heart,ª and putª° the stumblingblockª of their iniquityª beforeª their face:ª should I be enquired²° of at allª° by them? ... That¹ I may takeª°¹ the houseª of Israelª in their own heart,ª because¹ they are all¹ estrangedª° from¹¹ me through their idols.ª" {Ezk 14:3-5} + "And if¹ the prophetª be deceivedª° when he hath spokenª° a thing,ª I¹ the LORDª have deceivedª°¹ that¹ prophet,ª and I will stretch outª°¹ my handª upon¹ him, and will destroyª° him from the midstª¹ of my peopleª Israel.ª" {Ezk 14:9} + "Thereforeªª speak¹ I²° to themª inª parables:ª becauseª they seeingª° seeª° not;ª andª hearingª° they hearª° not,ª neitherª do they understand.ª° ... Forª thisª people'sª heart²¹ is waxed gross,ª° andª [their] earsª are dull² of hearing,ª°¹ andª their²¹ eyesª they have closed;ª° lest at any timeª they should seeª° with [their] eyes,²¹ andª hearª° with [their] ears,ª andª should understandª° with [their] heart,ª andª should be converted,ª° andª I should healª° them.ª" {Mtt 13:13-15} + "Forª there shall ariseª° false Christs,ª andª false prophets,ª andª shall shewª° greatª signsª andª wonders;ª insomuch that,ª ifª [it were] possible,ª they shall deceiveª° the¹ veryª elect.ª ... Behold,ª° I have told²° you² before.ª°¹" {Mtt 24:24-25}
