30 And Siʹhon the king of Heshʹbon did not let us pass through him, because Jehovah your God had let his spirit become obstinate+ and his heart become hard, in order to give him into your hand just as at this day.+

20 For it proved to be Jehovah’s course to let their hearts become stubborn+ so as to declare war against Israel, in order that he might devote them to destruction, that they might come to have no favorable consideration,+ but in order that he might annihilate them, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.+

10 Make the heart of this people unreceptive,*+ and make their very ears unresponsive,*+ and paste their very eyes together, that they may not see with their eyes and with their ears they may not hear, and that their own heart may not understand and that they may not actually turn back and get healing for themselves.”+

18 So, then, upon whom he wishes he has mercy,+ but whom he wishes he lets become obstinate.+
