What then? What (A)Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but the chosen obtained it, and the rest were (B)hardened; 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.”

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.”

  1. Romans 11:8 In OT, Yahweh, cf. Is 29:10

What then? Israel failed to obtain what it sought. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened, as it is written,

“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes that should not see and ears that should not hear,

“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
a pitfall and a retribution for them;
10 let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see,
and bend their backs for ever.”
