John 3:19-20
This is the judgment: The light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil.For everyone who does evil hates the light and avoids it, so that his deeds may not be exposed.

John 12:36-40
While you have the light, believe in the light so that you may become children of light.” Jesus said this, then went away and hid from them.Even though he had performed so many signs in their presence, they did not believe in him.This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet, who said: Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?This is why they were unable to believe, because Isaiah also said:He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they would not see with their eyes or understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.

Job 24:13-17
The wicked are those who rebel against the light. They do not recognize its ways or stay on its paths.The murderer rises at dawn to kill the poor and needy, and by night he becomes a thief.The adulterer’s eye watches for twilight, thinking,“ No eye will see me,” and he covers his face.In the dark they break into houses; by day they lock themselves in, never experiencing the light.For the morning is like darkness to them. Surely they are familiar with the terrors of darkness!

John 1:10
He was in the world, and the world was created through him, and yet the world did not recognize him.

Because they hated knowledge, didn’t choose to fear the LORD,were not interested in my counsel, and rejected all my correction,
