Romans 11:8-12
Young's Literal Translation
8 according as it hath been written, `God gave to them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear,' -- unto this very day,
9 and David saith, `Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block, and for a recompense to them;
10 let their eyes be darkened -- not to behold, and their back do Thou always bow down.'
11 I say, then, Did they stumble that they might fall? let it not be! but by their fall the salvation [is] to the nations, to arouse them to jealousy;
12 and if the fall of them [is] the riches of a world, and the diminution of them the riches of nations, how much more the fulness of them?

Romans 11:8-12
New International Version
8 as it is written:
“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes that could not see
and ears that could not hear,(A)
to this very day.”[a](B)
9 And David says:
“May their table become a snare and a trap,
a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
10 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,(C)
and their backs be bent forever.”[b](D)
Ingrafted Branches
11 Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all!(E) Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles(F) to make Israel envious.(G) 12 But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles,(H) how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring!
