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“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
A stumbling block and a recompense to them.
And bow down their back always.”
Israel’s Rejection Not Final

Romans 11:9
And David saith, Let their table, etc. - And from their present disposition it is reasonable to conclude that the same evils will fall upon them as fell upon the disobedient in former times, as predicted by David, Psalms 69:22, Psalms 69:23, that their very blessings should become curses to them, and their temporal mercies be their only recompense; and yet even these earthly blessings, by not being enjoyed in the Lord, should be a stumbling block over which they should fall, and, instead of being a blessing, should be the means of their punishment. They would have a worldly Messiah, and therefore they rejected him whose kingdom was not of this world.
