Romans 11:8 CPDV

⁶  And if it is by grace, then it is not now by works; otherwise grace is no longer free.

⁷  What is next? What Israel was seeking, he has not obtained. But the elect have obtained it. And truly, these others have been blinded,

⁸  just as it was written: 'God has given them a spirit of reluctance: eyes that do not perceive, and ears that do not hear, even until this very day.'

⁹  And David says: 'Let their table become like a snare, and a deception, and a scandal, and a retribution for them.

¹⁰  Let their eyes be obscured, so that they may not see, and so that they may bow down their backs always.'
