6. And if by favour, it is no longer of works, otherwise favour is no longer favour. And if it is of works, it is no longer favour, otherwise work is no longer work.
7. What then? Yisra’ĕl has not obtained what it seeks, but the chosen did obtain it, and the rest were hardened.
8. As it has been written, “יהוה has given them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes not to see and ears not to hear, unto this day.”
9. Dawiḏ also says, “Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block and a recompense to them,
10. let their eyes be darkened, not to see, and bow down their back always.”
11. I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Let it not be! But by their fall deliverance has come to the gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
12. And if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the gentiles, how much more their completeness!
