Romans 11:7–12

11:7 What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was diligently seeking, but the elect obtained it. The5 rest were hardened, 11:8 as it is written,

“God gave them a spirit of stupor,

eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear,

to this very day.”6

11:9 And David says,

“Let their table become a snare and trap,

a stumbling block and a retribution for them;

11:10 let their eyes be darkened so that they may not see,

and make their backs bend continually.”7

11:11 I ask then, they did not stumble into an irrevocable fall,8 did they? Absolutely not! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel9 jealous. 11:12 Now if their transgression means riches for the world and their defeat means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full restoration10 bring?
