Romans 11:8-11
8
as it is written:
“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes so that they could not see
and ears so that they could not hear,
to this very day.”
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,
and their backs be bent forever.”
