Romans 11:7-10 ▼

7 What then? What Israel seeks after, this it did not obtain, but the elect obtained it. And the rest were hardened,

8 as it has been written: God gave “them a spirit of stupor, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, unto this very day.”

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

10 May their eyes be darkened not to see, and their backs bent over through all time.”
