Context Readings

A Remnant Of Israel Remains

9 And David says, "Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a punishment for them. 10 Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and keep their backs forever bent." 11 And so I ask, "They have not stumbled so as to fall, have they?" Of course not! On the contrary, because of their stumbling, salvation has come to the gentiles to make the Jews jealous.
