Romans 11:7-10 ▼

7 What then? What Israel was seeking it did not attain, but the elect attained it; the rest were hardened,

8 as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes that should not see and ears that should not hear, down to this very day.”

9 And David says: “Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them;

10 let their eyes grow dim so that they may not see, and keep their backs bent forever.”
