their hearts pour out evil, and their minds are busy with wicked schemes.

They speak evil of God in heaven and give arrogant orders to everyone on earth,

They have no understanding, but I find pleasure in your law.

"The LORD's people grew rich, but rebellious; they were fat and stuffed with food. They abandoned God their Creator and rejected their mighty savior.

(SEE 15:26)

Then he said to me, "Make the minds of these people dull, their ears deaf, and their eyes blind, so that they cannot see or hear or understand. If they did, they might turn to me and be healed."

because their minds are dull, and they have stopped up their ears and have closed their eyes. Otherwise, their eyes would see, their ears would hear, their minds would understand, and they would turn to me, says God, and I would heal them.'

because this people's minds are dull, and they have stopped up their ears and closed their eyes. Otherwise, their eyes would see, their ears would hear, their minds would understand, and they would turn to me, says God, and I would heal them.' "

Silence those flattering tongues, O LORD! Close those boastful mouths that say,

"With our words we get what we want. We will say what we wish, and no one can stop us."

Silence those liars--- all the proud and arrogant who speak with contempt about the righteous.

We have been mocked too long by the rich and scorned by proud oppressors.

"Who is the LORD?" the king demanded. "Why should I listen to him and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD; and I will not let Israel go."

The enemy said, 'I will pursue them and catch them; I will divide their wealth and take all I want; I will draw my sword and take all they have.'

Stop your loud boasting; silence your proud words. For the LORD is a God who knows, and he judges all that people do.

They make proud and stupid statements, and use immoral bodily lusts to trap those who are just beginning to escape from among people who live in error.

The beast was allowed to make proud claims which were insulting to God, and it was permitted to have authority for forty-two months.

It began to curse God, his name, the place where he lives, and all those who live in heaven.
