7. What then? What Israel is seeking, it has not obtained; but the elect obtained it, and the rest were hardened—
8. just as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes not to see and ears not to hear, until 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 they do not see, and bend their back continually.”
11. I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? May it never be! But by their false step salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke Israel to jealousy.
