Romans 11:9-11
EasyEnglish Bible
9 King David says this:
‘They enjoy eating lots of good food together.
I pray that God will catch them while they are eating!
I want those good things to lead them into trouble.
I want God to punish them because of what they have done.
10 I want their eyes to become dark so that they cannot see.
I want their bodies always to be in pain, like slaves.’[a]
11 So now I ask this: ‘When Israel's people failed to accept Jesus as God's Messiah, did they make themselves separate from God for ever?’ No, certainly that is not true! Because of their mistake, God is now saving Gentiles. God is doing that so that Israel's people would become jealous.

11 Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all!(C) Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles(D) to make Israel envious.(E)
