Living_Oracles(i)
7 What then? The thing Israel earnestly seeks, that he has not obtained. But the election has obtained it, and the rest are blinded.
8 As it is written, "God has given them a spirit of deep sleep; eyes not seeing, and ears not hearing, until this present day."
9 And David says, "Let their table be for a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompense to them.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, so as not to see; and let them bow down their back continually.
11 I ask, then, have they stumbled, that they may fall? By no means. But, through their fall, salvation is given to the Gentiles, to excite them to emulation.
