Spiritual Blindness: The Effect of Sin

For the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep. He has shut your eyes, O prophets; He has covered your heads, O seers.

But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil.

Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
