Romans 11:7-10
Legacy Standard Bible
7 What then? What (A)Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but the chosen obtained it, and the rest were (B)hardened; 8 just as it is written,
“[a](C)God gave them a spirit of stupor,
Eyes to see not and ears to hear not,
Down to this very day.”
9 And David says,
“(D)Let their table become a snare and a trap,
And a stumbling block and a retribution to them.
10 (E)Let their eyes be darkened to see not,
And bend their backs forever.”

Common English Bible
7 So what? Israel didn’t find what it was looking for. Those who were chosen found it, but the others were resistant. 8 As it is written, God gave them a dull spirit, so that their eyes would not see and their ears not hear, right up until the present day.[a] 9 And David says,
Their table should become a pitfall and a trap,
a stumbling block and payback to them for what they have done.
10 Their eyes should be darkened so they can’t see,
and their backs always bent.[b]
