Romans 10:19-21

The Message of Salvation to All

19 But I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says,
c "I will d make you jealous of those who are not a nation;
with a e foolish nation I will make you angry."

20 Then Isaiah is so bold as to say,
f "I have been found by those who did not seek me;
I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me."

21 But of Israel he says, g "All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people."
