Romans 11:7-9
Names of God Bible
7 So what does all this mean? It means that Israel has never achieved what it has been striving for. However, those whom God has chosen have achieved it. The minds of the rest of Israel were closed, 8 as Scripture says,
“To this day God has given them a spirit of deep sleep.
Their eyes don’t see,
and their ears don’t hear!”
9 And David says,
“Let the table set for them become a trap and a net,
a snare and a punishment for them.
Romans 11:7-9
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.
