Isa 44:18 They do not know, nor do they understand, for He has smeared over their eyes so that they cannot see and their hearts so that they cannot comprehend.

The only reason someone does not understand the folly of their idolatry is because they are blinded and cannot see. Elohim has shut their eyes from seeing and their hearts from understanding.

Isa 6:10 “Render the hearts of this people insensitive, Their ears dull, And their eyes dim, Lest they see with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their hearts, And return and be healed.”

Isa 29:10 For the LORD has poured over you a spirit of deep sleep, He has shut your eyes, the prophets; And He has covered your heads, the seers.

Psalm 81:11-12 “But My people did not listen to My voice; And Israel did not obey Me. 12“So gave them over to the stubbornness of their heart, To walk in their own devices.
