# Today is Sunday, 2023.10.01 ## Question: What does it look like to be given eyes to see and ears to hear? ### Passage What then? What Israel was seeking, it failed to obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened, as it is written: - “God gave them a spirit of stupor, - eyes that could not see, - and ears that could not hear, - to this very day.” And David says: - “May their table become a snare and a trap, - a stumbling block and a retribution to them. - May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, - and their backs be bent forever.” [[Romans_11|Romans 11.7-10 (BSB)]] ![[IMAGES/OLD_FORMAT/1695935116.660.jpg]] NOTE: There is no connection between the photo and the scripture or question The Holy Bible, Berean Standard Bible (https://bereanbible.com), BSB is produced in cooperation with Bible Hub (https://biblehub.com), Discovery Bible (https://discoverybible.com), OpenBible.com (https://openbible.com), and the Berean Bible Translation Committee.
