Romans 11:7-10
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 What then? Israel has not achieved what it was pursuing. The elect have achieved it, but the rest were hardened,(A) 8 as it is written,
“God gave them a sluggish spirit,
eyes that would not see
and ears that would not hear,
down to this very day.”(B)
9 And David says,
“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
a stumbling block and a retribution for them;(C)
10 let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see,
and keep their backs forever bent.”
Romans 11:7-10
New American Standard Bible
7 What then? What (A)Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but [a]those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were (B)hardened; 8 just as it is written:
“(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)May their table become a snare and a trap,
And a stumbling block and a retribution to them.
10 (E)May their eyes be darkened to see not,
And bend their backs continually.”
