Romans 11:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
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.

New International Version
7 What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain.(A) The elect among them did, but the others were hardened,(B) 8 as it is written:
“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes that could not see
and ears that could not hear,(C)
to this very day.”[a](D)
9 And David says:
“May their table become a snare and a trap,
a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
