Romans 11:7-10 ▼

7 What then? What Israel (He wrestles with God) was seeking, it failed to obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened,

8 as it is written: “God {Theos} gave them a spirit {pneuma} of stupor, eyes that could not see, and ears that could not hear, to this very day .”

9 And David (beloved) says: “May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution to them.

10 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever .”
