Romans 11:7-14

7What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

8Just as it is written: “God has given them a spirit of stupor, Eyes that they should not see And ears that they should not hear, To this very day.”

9And David says: “Let their table become a snare and a trap, A stumbling block and a recompense to them.

10Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see, And bow down their back always.”

11I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.

12Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!

13For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

14if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them.
