Let their eyes be darkened that they may not see, and bow down their back always.
Read Chapter 11
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
Behold mercy and judgment—mercy on the elect, who have obtained the righteousness of God, but judgment upon the others who have been blinded. And yet the former have believed because they willed it, while the latter have not believed because they have not willed it. Hence mercy and judgment were executed in their own wills.
