Romans

Romans 10:19–21

¹⁹I ask instead, did Israel not understand? First, Moses says:

“I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation;

I will make you angry by a nation without understanding.”^j

²⁰And Isaiah boldly says:

“I was found by those who did not seek Me;

I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me.”^k

²¹But as for Israel he says:

“All day long I have held out My hands

to a disobedient and obstinate people.”^l
