Romans 11:7-10
GOD’S WORD Translation
7 So what does all this mean? It means that Israel has never achieved what it has been striving for. However, those whom God has chosen have achieved it. The minds of the rest of Israel were closed, 8 as Scripture says,
“To this day God has given them a spirit of deep sleep.
Their eyes don’t see,
and their ears don’t hear!”

10 Let their vision become clouded so that they cannot see.
Let them carry back-breaking burdens forever.”
Romans 11:7-10

to this very day.”[a](D)
9 And David says:
