But Amulek stretched forth his hand, and cried the mightier unto them, saying: O ye wicked and perverse generation, why hath Satan got such great hold upon your hearts? Why will ye yield yourselves unto him that he may have power over you, to blind your eyes, that ye will not understand the words which are spoken, according to their truth?
Note throughout this chapter the continual references to agency. Satan blinds the eyes of the wicked because they yield themselves to him. They "will not" hear the words of truth spoken to them. We choose blindness or sight, darkness or light. We make that choice every day.
