Israel has not obtained that which he seeks for; but the election has obtained it, and the rest were blinded. 8(According as it is written, God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) to this day. 9And David said, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompense to them: 10Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always.
