Where in Scripture does it say people will believe the lie before the truth?

In 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12, it is written that "The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness." This passage highlights that those who reject the truth and delight in unrighteousness will be given over to believe the lie, ultimately leading to their condemnation.

Additionally, in 2 Timothy 4:3-4, it warns that "For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths." This further emphasizes the idea that people will choose to believe falsehoods over the truth due to their rejection of sound teaching and love for unrighteousness.
