Romans 11:9

Read in context

Romans 11:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 What then? What Israel was seeking, it failed to obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened,

8 as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see, and ears that could not hear, to this very day.”

9 And David says: “May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution to them.

10 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”

11 I ask then, did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! However, because of their trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous.
