8. As the scripture says, “God made their minds and hearts dull; to this very day they cannot see or hear.”
9. And David says:“May they be caught and trapped at their feasts;may they fall, may they be punished!
10. May their eyes be blinded so that they cannot see;and make them bend under their troubles at all times.”
11. I ask, then: when the Jews stumbled, did they fall to their ruin? By no means! Because they sinned, salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make the Jews jealous of them.
