Whenever I called them to Your forgiveness, they thrust their fingers into their ears, and wrapped themselves in their garments, and insisted, and became more and more arrogant.
What does the Qur'an say about arrogance blinding understanding?
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 71:7 And lo, whenever I call unto them that Thou mayst pardon them, THEY THRUST THEIR FINGERS IN THEIR EARS AND COVER THEMSELVES WITH THEIR GARMENTS, and persist in their refusal, and magnify themselves in pride. In because it is the only verse the declared synonym set qualified, and because it describes the blinding as a deliberate physical act - fingers in ears, clothes pulled over the head - performed by the people themselves.
- 02 7:146 I shall turn away from My revelations those who MAGNIFY THEMSELVES WRONGFULLY IN THE EARTH, and if they see each token they will not believe in it. DECLARED DUAL-PLACEMENT rather than a search hit: it is the verse that states the mechanism this question asks about - pride first, then the turning away - and it did not reach majority match under the synonym set.
- 03 2:7 God hath sealed their hearts and their hearing, and on their eyes there is a covering. DECLARED DUAL-PLACEMENT from closed-understanding and decree-and-free-will, carried here because it is the same closure attributed to a different agent, and a study on arrogance that omitted it would overstate human agency.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
This study has to begin by admitting its own weakness, because the alternative is to hide it.
The declared synonym set - turning away from signs in arrogance, magnifying oneself, scornfulness, waxing proud at the revelations - returned FOURTEEN verses across the four renderings, and only ONE of them reached majority match. The translators simply do not converge on a shared vocabulary here. Where Pickthall writes SCORNFUL, Sale writes proud, Rodwell writes haughty, Palmer writes big with pride. Under a majority rule that scatters.
So one verse qualified, and it is a good one. 71:7 - Noah reporting on his people - describes the blinding as something they DO: they thrust their fingers in their ears, pull their garments over themselves, persist, and magnify themselves in pride. It is not a condition that descends on them. It is a posture they adopt, and the physical detail is the argument.
Two further verses are carried as DECLARED DUAL-PLACEMENTS and are marked as such rather than presented as search results.
7:146 is the verse this question is really about, and it states the sequence outright: I SHALL TURN AWAY FROM MY REVELATIONS THOSE WHO MAGNIFY THEMSELVES WRONGFULLY IN THE EARTH - and then, if they see every sign, they will not believe. Pride first; then the incapacity.
2:7 is here for balance. The same closure - sealed hearts, covered eyes - is attributed to God. A study built only on 71:7 and 7:146 would say arrogance closes the understanding; the text also says God closes it. Both are in the book.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.
What this rests on
Opens with 71:7, widening across 3 passages in all.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.
The versesSource fact 3 passages, each with every cleared translation
3 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.
Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

And lo! whenever I call unto them that Thou mayst pardon them they thrust their fingers in their ears and cover themselves with their garments and persist (in their refusal) and magnify themselves in pride
and, verily, every time I called them, that Thou mightest pardon them, they placed their fingers in their ears and tried to cover themselves with their garments and persisted, and were very big with pride
So oft as I cry to them, that thou mayest forgive them, they thrust their fingers into their ears, and wrap themselves in their garments, and persist in their error, and are disdainfully disdainful
And whensoever I call them to the true faith, that Thou mayest forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, and cover themselves with their garments, and persist in their infidelity, and proudly disdain my counsel

Und wahrlich, jedes Mal, wenn ich sie aufrief, damit Du ihnen vergibst, steckten sie ihre Finger in ihre Ohren, hüllten sich in ihre Gewänder, verharrten (im Irrtum) und verhielten sich sehr hochmütig.
Και στ’ αλήθεια κάθε φορά που τους καλούσα, για να τους συγχωρέσεις, έβαζαν τα δάχτυλά τους στ’ αυτιά τους, καλύπτονταν με τα ενδύματά τους και επέμεναν (στην άρνησή τους), και συμπεριφέρονταν πολύ αλαζονικά.
और निःसंदेह मैंने जब भी उन्हें बुलाया, ताकि तू उन्हें क्षमा कर दे, तो उन्होंने अपनी उँगलियाँ अपने कानों में डाल लीं तथा अपने कपड़े ओढ़ लिए[2] और हठ दिखाया और बड़ा घमंड किया।
E in verità ogni volta che li ho avvertiti, perché Tu li perdonassi, mettevano le dita nelle orecchie, si coprivano la testa con gli abiti e perseveravano nella loro superbia.
7. Ir tikrai, kaskart, kai aš kviečiau juos, kad Tu galėtum atleisti jiems, jie įsikišdavo savo pirštus į savo ausis, apsidengdavo savo apdarais, būdavo užsispyrę ir išpuikę (didžiu) pasipūtimu.

Воистину, всякий раз, когда я призывал их, чтобы Ты простил их, они затыкали уши пальцами, закутывались в свои одежды, упорствовали и проявляли великое высокомерие.
И кад год сам их позивао да им опростиш, своје су прсте у уши стављали и својим хаљинама су се покривали - били су упорни и претерано охоли.
Na hakika mimi kila nilipowaita ili upate kuwaghufiria, walijiziba masikio yao kwa vidole vyao, na wakajigubika nguo zao, na wakakamia, na wakatakabari vikubwa mno!
Varje gång jag kallat dem till din förlåtelse har de stoppat fingrarna i öronen, svept sina kläder om sig, stått fast i sitt trots och uppträtt med stort högmod.
Doğrusu ben onları bağışlaman için her davet edişimde, onlar parmaklarını kulaklarına tıkadılar, örtülerini başlarına çektiler, direttiler ve kibirlendikçe kibirlendiler.

I will turn away from My revelations those who behave proudly on earth without justification. Even if they see every sign, they will not believe in it; and if they see the path of rectitude, they will not adopt it for a path; and if they see the path of error, they will adopt it for a path. That is because they denied Our revelations, and paid no attention to them.

I shall turn away from My revelations those who magnify themselves wrongfully in the earth, and if they see each token believe it not, and if they see the way of righteousness choose it nor for (their) way, and if they see the way of error choose if for (their) way.

I will turn from my signs those who are big with pride in the earth without right; and if they see every sign they shall not believe therein, and if they see the path of rectitude they shall not take it for a path; but if they see the path of error they shall take it for a path; - that is because they have said our signs are lies and have been careless of them

This, - for that they treated our signs as lies, and were heedless of them
I shall soon turn away from My Signs those who behave proudly in the land in an unjust manner; and even if they see all the Signs, they will not believe therein; and if they see the way of righteousness, they will not adopt it as their way; but if they see the way of error, they will adopt it as their way.

Ir jei jie matys teisingą kelią (viendievystės, dievobaimingumo ir gerų darbų), jie nesirinks jo kaip Kelio, tačiau jei jie matys klaidingą kelią (daugiadievystės, nusikaltimų ir blogų darbų), jie pasirinks šį kelią. Tai yra dėl to, kad jie atmetė Mūsų Ajat (įrodymus, įkalčius, eilutes, pamokas, ženklus, apreiškimus ir t.t.) ir jų nepaisė (kad išmoktų pamoką).

Я отвращу от Своих знамений тех, которые превозносятся на земле без права. И если они увидят любое знамение, — они не уверуют в него; а если увидят путь благоразумия, то не изберут его путём, а если увидят путь заблуждения, то изберут его путём. Это потому, что они считали ложью Наши знамения и относились к ним беспечно.
Одвратићу од Својих знамења оне који се, без икаквог основа, на Земљи охоле. И какав год доказ они виде, неће у њега да верују; ако виде Прави пут - неће као пут да га прихвате, а ако виде странпутицу – као пут ће да је прихвате. То је зато што знакове Наше поричу и што су према њима равнодушни.
Nitawaepusha na Ishara zangu wale wanaotakabari katika ardhi bila ya haki. Na wao wakiona kila Ishara, hawaiamini. Wakiiona njia ya uwongofu, hawaichukui kuwa ndiyo njia. Lakini wakiiona njia ya ukengeufu, wanaichukua kuwa ndiyo njia. Hayo ni kwa sababu walizikadhibisha Ishara zetu, na walikuwa wakighafilika mbali nazo.
De som utan rätt uppträder högmodigt på jorden ska jag avleda från mina tecken. Även om de ser alla tecken ska de inte tro på dem. Om de ser rättfärdighetens väg kommer de inte att följa den, men om de ser villfarelsens väg kommer de att följa den. Detta för att de vägrade att tro på våra tecken och var likgiltiga inför dem.
Haksız yere yeryüzünde büyüklenen kimseleri ayetlerimizi (anlayıp, ibret almaktan) uzak tutacağım. Onlar bütün ayetleri görseler de iman etmezler. Doğru yolu görseler onu yol edinmezler. Sapıklık yolunu gördüklerinde onu yol edinirler. İşte bu, onların ayetlerimizi yalanlamaları ve onlardan gafil olmalarından dolayıdır.
میں ایسے لوگوں کو اپنے احکام سے برگشتہ ہی رکھوں گا جو دنیا میں تکبر کرتے ہیں، جس کا ان کو کوئی حق حاصل نہیں اور اگر تمام نشانیاں دیکھ لیں تب بھی وه ان پر ایمان نہ ﻻئیں،[1] اور اگر ہدایت کا راستہ دیکھیں تو اس کو اپنا طریقہ نہ بنائیں اور اگر گمراہی کا راستہ دیکھ لیں تو اس کو اپنا طریقہ بنالیں[2]۔ یہ اس سبب سے ہے کہ انہوں نے ہماری آیتوں کو جھٹلایا اور ان سے غافل رہے۔[3]

- Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it4 of the 5 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 71:7, 7:146, 2:7, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.
How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - turn + away + signs + arrogant; magnify + themselves; scornful; wax + proud + signs. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.
Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.
Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
