8. as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not seeand ears that would 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 be darkened so that they cannot see,and bend their backs forever.”
11. So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous.
