Israel not obtained which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded [8] (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes not see, and ears not hear;) unto this day.

God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to them to jealousy.
