- the LORD[YHWH]:
- "Therefore,¹ behold,¹ I will proceedª° to do a marvellous workª° among¹ this¹ people,ª [even] a marvellous workª° and a wonder:ª for the wisdomª of their wiseª [men] shall perish,ª° and the understandingª of their prudentª° [men] shall be hid.ª°" {Isa 29:14} + "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} + "So Davidª tookª°¹ the spearª and the cruseª of waterª from Saul'sª bolster;²¹ and they gat them away,²°¹ and no¹ man sawª° [it], nor¹ knewª° [it], neither¹ awaked:ª° for¹ they [were] all¹ asleep;ª because¹ a deep sleepª from the LORDª was fallenª° upon¹ them." {1Sm 26:12} + "Let their eyesª be darkened,ª° that they see²° not;¹¹ and make their loinsª continuallyª to shake.ª°" {Psa 69:23} + "Therefore¹ nightª [shall be] unto you, that ye shall not have a vision;ª¹ and it shall be darkª°° unto you, that ye shall not divine;ª°¹ and the sunª shall go downª° over¹ the prophets,ª and the dayª shall be darkª° over¹ them." {Mic 3:6} + "Saying,ª° Goª° untoª thisª people,ª andª say,ª° Hearingª ye shall hear,ª° andª shall²° notª understand;ª° andª seeingª° ye shall see,ª° andª notª perceive:ª° ... Forª the¹ heartª of thisª peopleª is waxed gross,ª° andª their earsª are dull² of hearing,ª°¹ andª their²¹ eyesª have they closed;ª° lestª they should seeª° with [their] eyes,ª andª hearª° with [their] ears,ª andª understandª° with [their] heart,ª andª should be converted,ª° andª I should healª° them.ª" {Act 28:26-27} + "(According asª it is written,ª° Godª hath givenª° themª the spiritª of slumber,ª eyesª that they should²° notª see,ª° andª earsª that they should²° notª hear;)ª° untoª thisª day.ª" {Rom 11:8}
