Romans 11:7-10

Amplified Bible

⁷What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking [that is, God’s favor by obedience to the Law], but the elect [those chosen few] obtained it, while the rest of them became hardened and callously indifferent; ⁸just as it is written [in Scripture],

“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
Eyes that do not see and ears that do not hear,
[a spiritual apathy that has continued] to this very day.”^(A)

⁹And David says,

“Let their table (abundance) become a snare and a trap,
A stumbling block and a retribution to them.^(B)
¹⁰
“Let their eyes be darkened so that they do not see,
And make their backs bend [under their burden] forever.”^(C)
