Romans 11:7-10 How then does the matter stand? It stands thus. That which Israel are in earnest pursuit of, they have not obtained; but God's chosen servants have obtained it, and the rest have become hardened.

WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ How then does the matter stand? It stands thus. That which Israel are in earnest pursuit of, they have not obtained; but God's chosen servants have obtained it, and the rest have become hardened. ⁸ And so Scripture says, "GOD HAS GIVEN THEM A SPIRIT OF DROWSINESS--EYES TO SEE NOTHING WITH AND EARS TO HEAR NOTHING WITH--EVEN UNTIL NOW." ⁹ And David says, "LET THEIR VERY FOOD BECOME A SNARE AND A TRAP TO THEM, A STUMBLING-BLOCK AND A RETRIBUTION. ¹⁰ LET DARKNESS COME OVER THEIR EYES THAT THEY MAY BE UNABLE TO SEE, AND MAKE THOU THEIR BACKS CONTINUALLY TO STOOP."
