Romans 11:7-10
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 What then? Israel has not achieved what it was pursuing. The elect have achieved it, but the rest were hardened,(A) 8 as it is written,
“God gave them a sluggish spirit,
eyes that would not see
and ears that would not hear,
down to this very day.”(B)
9 And David says,
“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
a stumbling block and a retribution for them;(C)
10 let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see,
and keep their backs forever bent.”

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.”[c]
