Romans 11:7-10 ▼

7 What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was diligently seeking, but the elect obtained it. The rest were hardened,

8 as it is written, |God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear, to this very day.|

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

10 let their eyes be darkened so that they may not see, and make their backs bend continually.|
