And Jesus said, For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind.

And Jehovah said, Who will persuade Ahab to go up, that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead? So one said this, and another was saying that.

For Jehovah has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes; He has covered the prophets and your heads, the seers.

And if the prophet is induced to speak anything, I Jehovah have induced that prophet, and I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him from the midst of My people Israel.

Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

for the heart of this people has grown dull, their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, that they should not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, nor understand with their heart and convert, and I should heal them.

Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into the ditch.

so that seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand; lest they should convert, and their sins be forgiven them.

And He said, To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

saying, Go to this people and say: Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you will see, and not perceive;

Just as it is written: God has given them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes that they should not see and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see, and bow down their back always.

And Jehovah said to Moses, When you go back to Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in your hand. And I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go.

And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt.

And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not heed them, as Jehovah had said.

And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, so that he will pursue them; and I will glorify Myself over Pharaoh and over all his army, that the Egyptians may know that I am Jehovah. And they did so.

And Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went out with a high hand.

And behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them. And I will glorify Myself over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen.

For it was of Jehovah to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that He might utterly destroy them, and that they might receive no mercy, but that He might destroy them, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.

What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were hardened.

Yet Jehovah has not given you a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day.

He struck many nations and slew mighty kings;

and gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to Israel His people.

For Jehovah will judge His people, and He will have compassion on His servants.

They have mouths, but they do not speak; eyes they have, but they do not see;

Those who make them are like them; everyone who trusts in them.

Jehovah, when Your hand is lifted up, they will not see; but they shall see and be ashamed for their envy toward the people. Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.

Who is blind but My servant? Or deaf, as My messenger whom I sent? Who is blind as he who is perfect, and blind as Jehovah's servant?

You see many things, but do not observe; opening the ears, but no one hears.

Now hear this, O foolish people, without understanding; who have eyes and see not; who have ears and hear not.

Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear; for they are a rebellious house.

But Jesus, knowing, said to them, Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened?

Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?

Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles; and they brought great joy to all the brethren.

Brethren, if anyone among you goes astray from the truth, and someone turns him back,

let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and conceal a multitude of sins.

Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am weak; O Jehovah, heal me, for my bones are anxious.

I said, Jehovah, be merciful unto me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against You.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.

I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will also lead him, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.

I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off, and to him who is near, says Jehovah; and I will heal him.

Return, O backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come to You; for You are Jehovah our God.

Come, and let us return to Jehovah. For He has torn, and He will heal us. He has stricken, and He will bind us up.

I will heal their backslidings; I will love them freely; for My anger has turned away from him.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free with deliverance those who are oppressed;
