Romans 11:7

7What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain. The elect among them did, but the others were hardened,

7What then? What Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but 11:7 Lit the electionthose who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened;

7What then? What Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened;

7What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking [that is, God’s favor by obedience to the Law], but the elect [those chosen few] obtained it, while the rest of them became hardened and callously indifferent;

7What then? What Israel was seeking, it failed to obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened,

7What should we say then? The people of Israel did not receive what they wanted so badly. Those Israelites who were chosen did receive it. But the rest of the people were made stubborn.
