MSB(i)
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.
