Romans 11:7-14

7What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened,

8as it is written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear, down to this very day."

9And David says, "Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them;

10let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and bend their backs forever."

11So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous.

12Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!

13Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry

14in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them.
