  • 2 Corinthians 4:4
    whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
     
  • Deuteronomy 29:4
    Yet the LORD has not given you a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day.
     
  • Matthew 13:11-15
    He answered and said to them, "Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:
    " Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
    And seeing you will see and not perceive;
    For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
    Their ears are hard of hearing,
    And their eyes they have closed,
    Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
    Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
    So that I should heal them."
     
  • Romans 1:18-19
    For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
     
  • Romans 1:21
    because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
     
  • Deuteronomy 28:28
    The LORD will strike you with madness and blindness and confusion of heart.
     
  • John 12:37-40
    But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him, that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:
    ' Lord, who has believed our report?
    And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?' Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:
    ' He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts,
    Lest they should see with their eyes,
    Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
    So that I should heal them.'
     
  • Ephesians 4:18
    having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart;
     
  • 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11
    and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
