2 Corinthians 4 4 If our gospel be yet hid, it is hid among them that are lost, in whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest should shine unto them the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, which is the image of God,  for we preach not our selves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and preach ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.

 

Isaiah 44 18 Yet men neither consider nor understand, because their eyes are stopped, that they can not see: and their hearts, that they can not perceive.  They ponder not in their minds, for they have neither knowledge nor understanding.

 

Mark 4 12 To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: But unto them that are without, shall all things be done in similitudes:  that when they see, they shall see, and not discern: and when they hear they shall hear, and not understand: lest at any time they should turn, and their sins should be forgiven them.

 

Matthew 13 13 Therefore speak I to them in similitudes. For though they see, they see not: and hearing they hear not: nether understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esay, which prophecy saith: with your ears ye shall hear, and shall not understand, and with your eyes ye shall see, and shall not perceive.  For this people’s heart is waxed gross. And their ears were dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their hearts, and should turn, that I might heal them.

 

Isaiah 6 9 Ye shall hear indeed, but ye shall not understand, ye shall plainly see, and not perceive. Harden the heart of this people, stop their ears, and shut their eyes, that they see not with their eyes, hear no twith their ears, and understand not with their heart, and convert and be healed.

 

Luke 8 10 unto you is it given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God: but to other in similitudes, that when they see, they should not see, and when they hear they should not understand. The similitude is this. The seed is the word of God.  Those that are beside the way, are they that hear, and afterward cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.  They on the stones, are they which when they hear the word receive it with joy. And these have no roots, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation go away. That which fell among thorns, are they which hear, and go forth, and are choked with cares and riches, and voluptuous living, and bring forth no fruit.  That in the good ground, are they which with a good and pure heart, hear the word, and keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

 

John 12 40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts, that they should not see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts, and should be converted and I should heal them.

 

Acts 28 26  with your ears shall ye hear, and shall not understand: and with your eyes shall ye see and shall not perceive. For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears wex thick of hearing, and their eyes have they closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and should be converted, and I should heal them

 

Isaiah 30 8 Therefore I told you also that your pride should have an end.  Wherefore go hence and write them this in their tables, and note it in a book: that it may remain by their posterity, and be still kept.  For it is an obstinate people, unfaithful children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD.

 

Isaiah 29 13 But ye shall be at your wits end, ye shall be abashed: ye shall stagger, and reel to and fro. Ye shall be drunken, but not of wine. Ye shall fall, but not thorow drunkenness:  For the LORD shall give you an hard sleeping spirit, and hold down your eyes: namely your Prophets and heads which should see, them shall he cover.  And all visions shall be unto you, as the words that stand in a sealed letter, when one offereth it to a man that is learned, and sayeth: read us this letter. Then he answereth: I can not read it, for it is shut.  But if it be given to one that is not learned, or say unto him: read this letter: Then sayeth he I can not read.  Therefore thus sayeth the Lord: For so much as this people draweth nye me with their mouth, and praiseth me highly with their lips, where as their heart nevertheless is far from me, and the fear which they owe unto me, that turn they to men’s laws and doctrines,  therefore will I also shew unto this people a marvelous, terrible, and great thing (Namely this:) I will destroy the wisdom of their wise, and the understanding of their learned men shall perish.

 

Romans 11 8 The remnant are blinded, according as it is written: God hath given them the spirit of unquietness: eyes that they shouldnot see, and ears that they should not hear, even unto this day.

2 Thessalonians 2 11 And therefore God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe lies:  that all they might be damned which believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

​

Daniel 12 10 But the ungodly shall live wickedly, and those wicked (as many as they be) shall have no understanding.

​

Jeremy 4 22 Nevertheless this shall come upon them because my people is become foolish, and hath utterly no understanding. They are the children of foolishness, and without any discretion. To do evil, they have wit enough: but to do well, they have no wisdom.

Romans 1 21 So that they are without excuse, inasmuch as when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful, but waxed full of vanities in their imaginations. And their foolish hearts were blinded. When they counted themselves wise, they became fools

​

Romans 11 8 The remnant are blinded, according as it is written: God hath given them the spirit of unquietness: eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, even unto this day.

​

Ephesians 4 17 This I say herefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other gentiles walk, in vanities of their mind, blinded in their understanding, being strangers from the life which is in God, thorow the ignorancy that is in them, because of the blindness of their hearts: which being past repentance have given themselves unto wantonness, to work all manner of uncleanness even with greediness.

1 John 2 11 He that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness: and cannot tell whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
