Romans 11:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 as it is written:
“God gave them a spirit of deep sleep,
eyes that should not see
and ears that should not hear,
down to this very day.”(A)
9 And David says:(B)
“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
a stumbling block and a retribution for them;
10 let their eyes grow dim so that they may not see,
and keep their backs bent forever.”

“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear,
to this very day.”[a]
9 And David says,
“Let their table become a snare and trap,
a stumbling block and a retribution for them;
10 let their eyes be darkened so that they may not see,
and make their backs bend continually.”[b]
