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.”
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.
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.”
And bow down their back always.”
Israel’s Rejection Not Final
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.
