- "And the harp,ª and the viol,ª the tabret,ª and pipe,ª and wine,ª are¹ in their feasts:ª but they regardª° not¹ the workª of the LORD,ª neither¹ considerª° the operationª of his hands.ª" {Isa 5:12} + "When the boughsª thereof are withered,ª° they shall be broken off:ª° the womenª come,ª° [and] set them on fire:ª°¹ for¹ it [is] a peopleª of no¹ understanding:ª therefore¹¹ he¹ that madeª° them will not¹ have mercyª° on them, and he that formedª° them will shew them no favour.ª°¹" {Isa 27:11} + "They have not¹ knownª° nor¹ understood:ª° for¹ he hath shutª° their eyes,ª that they cannot see;ª°¹ [and] their hearts,²¹ that they cannot understand.ª°¹" {Isa 44:18} + "For¹ they¹ [are] a nationª voidª° of counsel,ª neither¹ [is there any] understandingª in them. ... O thatª they were wise,ª° [that] they understoodª° this,¹ [that] they would considerª° their latter end!ª" {Deu 32:28-29} + "Understand,ª° ye brutishª° among the people:ª and [ye] fools,ª when¹ will ye be wise?ª°" {Psa 94:8} + "For¹ my peopleª [is] foolish,ª they have not¹ knownª° me; they¹ [are] sottishª children,ª and they¹ have none¹ understanding:ª° they¹ [are] wiseª to do evil,ª° but to do goodª° they have no¹ knowledge.ª°" {Jer 4:22} + "And they bendª°¹ their tonguesª [like] their bowª [for] lies:ª but they are not¹ valiantª° for the truthª upon the earth;ª for¹ they proceedª° from evilª¹ to¹ evil,ª and they knowª° not¹ me, saithª° the LORD.ª ... Thine habitationª° [is] in the midstª of deceit;ª through deceitª they refuseª° to knowª° me, saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 9:3-6} + "But they are altogetherª brutishª° and foolish:ª° the stockª [is] a doctrineª of vanities.ª" {Jer 10:8} + "Every¹ manª is brutishª° in [his] knowledge:ª¹ every¹ founderª° is confoundedª° by the graven image:ª¹ for¹ his molten imageª [is] falsehood,ª and [there is] no¹ breathª in them." {Jer 10:14} + "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} + "When any² one¹ hearethª° the¹ wordª of the¹ kingdom,ª andª understandethª° [it] not,ª then comethª° the¹ wickedª [one], andª catcheth awayª° that which² was sownª° inª hisª heart.ª Thisª isª° he which received seedª° byª the¹ way side.ª" {Mtt 13:19} + "Andª even asª they did²° notª likeª° to retainª° Godª inª [their] knowledge,ª Godª gave²° them² overª°¹ toª a reprobateª mind,ª to doª° those things which are²° not² convenient;ª°¹" {Rom 1:28} + "Forª thisª theyª willinglyª° are ignorant of,ª° thatª by the¹ wordª of Godª the heavensª wereª° of old,ª andª the earthª standing¹ out²° ofª the waterª andª inª the water:ª" {2Pe 3:5}
