Acts 13:9-11
EasyEnglish Bible
9 Then God filled Saul with the power of his Holy Spirit. (Saul was also now called Paul.[a] ) Paul looked straight at Elymas and he said, 10 ‘You are a servant of the Devil! You are against everything that is right. Your mind is full of lies and other bad things. You try to change the true message of the Lord and make it into lies. You must stop doing that! 11 The Lord will now punish you. You will become blind for a time. You will not even see the light of the sun.’
When Paul said that, immediately something like a dark cloud covered Elymas's eyes. He could not find his own way. He needed someone to lead him by the hand.

Acts 13:9-11
New International Version
9 Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit,(A) looked straight at Elymas and said, 10 “You are a child of the devil(B) and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?(C) 11 Now the hand of the Lord is against you.(D) You are going to be blind for a time, not even able to see the light of the sun.”(E)
Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
