Exegesis
The adverbial contrast nun de {νῦν δὲ | nûn dè} ‘but now’ signals a shift to the present result, where the passive ekrybe {ἐκρύβη | ekrýbē} ‘have been hidden’ depicts completed concealment and the prepositional phrase apo ophthalmōn sou {ἀπὸ ὀφθαλμῶν σου | apó ophthalmō̂n sou} ‘from your eyes’ frames this as a loss of perception.
