Romans 11:7-10
Wycliffe Bible
7 What then? Israel hath not gotten this that he sought [Israel hath not gotten that that he sought], but election hath gotten; and the others be blinded.
8 As it is written, God gave to them a spirit of compunction, eyes that they see not, and ears, that they hear not, into this day.
9 And David saith, Be the board of them made into a snare before them, and into catching, and into cause of stumbling, and into yielding to them [and into catching, and into offence, and into yielding again to them].
10 Be the eyes of them made dark, that they see not; and bow thou down always the back of them [and bow down all-gates the back of them].

New Matthew Bible
7 What then? Israel has not obtained what it sought. No, but yet the chosen ones have obtained it. The rest are blinded, 8 as it is written: God has given them the spirit of unquietness: eyes so that they cannot see, and ears so that they cannot hear, until this day. 9 And David says, Let their table be made a snare to take them with, and an occasion to fall, and a reward to them. 10 Let their eyes be blinded so that they do not see, and ever bow down their backs.

7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that he sought: but the election hath obtained it, and the rest have been [a]hardened,
8 [b]According as it is written, (A)God hath given them the spirit of [c]slumber: eyes that they [d]should not see, and ears that they should not hear unto this day.
9 And David saith, (B)[e]Let their table be made a snare, and a net, and a stumbling block, even for a recompense unto them.
10 Let their eyes be darkened that they see not, and bow down their back always.

Romans 11:7-10
Authorized (King James) Version
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded 8 (according as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: 10 let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
