And this is what people without doctrine in their soul, do. They stare but never see. Life and truth are there right in front of them, and yet it is their own resistance to learning doctrine, that prevents them from seeing truth. They do it all to themselves.

Cry out and cry, ‘sha a,’ refers to crying to at some unbelievable spectacle as when one watches a fireworks show or something spectacular. And yet their eyes are glazed over, seeing only what they wish to see, and are amazed at the life that they have invented for themselves. They are impressed with themselves.

And so, it is made clear that the blindness is the fault of the individual due to their refusal or indifference or antagonism toward learning truth.

They reject truth, not believing that they have anything to learn. They stagger through life, never knowing that they are staggering.

And so God allows them to exercise their own choices in life, even when they refuse to learn doctrine and thus become disoriented by means of their own decisions.

And this is what the Bible means. God brings a strong delusion such that they cannot see, cannot understand.

People do this to themselves.

God does everything possible to help people learn truth, but too often people resist learning, and then they have only themselves to blame.
