• 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 13:10-16
  And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” 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." But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear;
   
• Romans 11:25
  For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.
   
• 2 Corinthians 4:3-4
  But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 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.
   
• Romans 11:7-8
  What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded. Just as it is written:
  'God has given them a spirit of stupor,
  Eyes that they should not see
  And ears that they should not hear,
  To this very day.'
