• 2 Chronicles 36:15, 16
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • 15 Jehovah the God of their forefathers kept warning them by means of his messengers, warning them again and again, because he felt compassion for his people and for his dwelling place. 16 But they kept ridiculing the messengers of the true God,+ and they despised his words+ and mocked his prophets,+ until the rage of Jehovah came up against his people,+ until they were beyond healing.

  • Isaiah 6:10
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • 10 Make the heart of this people unreceptive,+

      Make their ears unresponsive,+

      And paste their eyes together,

      So that they may not see with their eyes

      And hear with their ears,

      So that their heart may not understand

      And they may not turn back and be healed.”
