Romans 11:7-11

Context
11:7 What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was diligently seeking, but the elect obtained it. The 1  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.” 2 

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.” 3 

11:11 I ask then, they did not stumble into an irrevocable fall, 4  did they? Absolutely not! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel 5  jealous.

1 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
