Romans 11:5-11
New International Version
5 So too, at the present time there is a remnant(A) chosen by grace.(B) 6 And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works;(C) if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
7 What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain.(D) The elect among them did, but the others were hardened,(E) 8 as it is written:
“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes that could not see
and ears that could not hear,(F)
to this very day.”[a](G)
9 And David says:
“May their table become a snare and a trap,
a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
10 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,(H)
and their backs be bent forever.”[b](I)

11 Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all!(J) Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles(K) to make Israel envious.(L)
