Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, And a stumbling-block, and a recompense to them; (10)Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, And bow down their back alway. (11)I say then, did they stumble in order that they should fall? Far be it! But by their fall salvation is come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy. (12)But if their fall is the riches of the world, and their diminution the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness? (13)For I am speaking to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify my office; (14)if by any means I may provoke to emulation those who are my flesh, and may save some of them. (15)For if the casting away of them is the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? (16)And if the first-fruit is holy, so also is the lump; and if the root is holy, so also are the branches. (17)And if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive-tree, wert grafted in among them, and became a partaker with them of the root and the fatness of the olive-tree; (18)boast not over the branches. But if thou boast, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee. (19)Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. (20)Well; because of their want of faith they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not high-minded, but fear; (21)for if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. (22)Behold then the goodness and severity of God; toward those who fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness; otherwise, thou also shalt be cut off. (23)And they also, if they continue not in their unbelief, shall be grafted in; for God is able again to graft them in. (24)For if thou wast cut out of the olive-tree which is wild by nature, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive-tree; how much more shall these, who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive-tree? (25)For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits, that hardness has come upon Israel in part, until the fullness of the Gentiles come in. (26)And so all Israel shall be saved; as it is written: There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; (27)and this is the covenant from me to them, when I
