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.”
11. I ask then, they did not stumble into an irrevocable fall, did they? Absolutely not! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel jealous.
