8. according as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this very day.
9. And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, And a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them:
10. Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, And bow thou down their back alway.
11. I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? God forbid: but by their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
12. Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
13. But I speak to you that are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my ministry:
14. if by any means I may provoke to jealousy them that are my flesh, and may save some of them.
15. For if the casting away of them is the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
