Romans 11:7 in Context — Romans 11

5 De même aussi dans le temps présent il y a un reste, selon l’élection de la grâce.

6 Or, si c’est par grâce, ce n’est plus par les œuvres; autrement la grâce n’est plus une grâce. Et si c’est par les œuvres, ce n’est plus une grâce; autrement l’œuvre n’est plus une œuvre.

7 Quoi donc? Ce qu’Israël cherche, il ne l’a pas obtenu, mais l’élection l’a obtenu, tandis que les autres ont été endurcis,

8 selon qu’il est écrit: Dieu leur a donné un esprit d’assoupissement, Des yeux pour ne point voir, Et des oreilles pour ne point entendre, Jusqu’à ce jour. Et David dit:

9 Que leur table soit pour eux un piège, Un filet, une occasion de chute, et une rétribution!
