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.”

Romans 11:7-10
New Living Translation
7 So this is the situation: Most of the people of Israel have not found the favor of God they are looking for so earnestly. A few have—the ones God has chosen—but the hearts of the rest were hardened. 8 As the Scriptures say,
“God has put them into a deep sleep.
To this day he has shut their eyes so they do not see,
and closed their ears so they do not hear.”[a]
9 Likewise, David said,
“Let their bountiful table become a snare,
a trap that makes them think all is well.
Let their blessings cause them to stumble,
and let them get what they deserve.
10 Let their eyes go blind so they cannot see,
and let their backs be bent forever.”[b]
