Romans 11:8

Compare all

6 And ^aif by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace.¹ But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

7 What then? ^aIsrael has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were ^bblinded.

8 Just as it is written:
^a“God has given them a spirit of stupor,
^bEyes that they should not see
And ears that they should not hear,
To this very day.”

9 And David says:
^a“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
A stumbling block and a recompense to them.

10 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see,
And bow down their back always.”

11 I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But ^athrough their fall, to provoke them to ^bjealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.
