Romans 11:7-10
Christian Standard Bible
7 What then? Israel did not find what it was looking for,(A) but the elect did find it. The rest were hardened,(B) 8 as it is written,
9 And David says,
Let their table become a snare and a trap,
a pitfall and a retribution to them.
10 Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see,
and their backs be bent continually.[b](D)
Romans 11:7-10
International Standard Version
7 What, then, does this mean?[a] It means that Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking, but the selected group obtained it while the rest were hardened. 8 As it is written,
“To this day God has put them into[b] deep sleep.
Their eyes do not see, and their ears do not hear.”[c]
9 And David says,
“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
a stumbling block and a punishment for them.
10 Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see,
and keep their backs forever bent.”[d]
