Romans 10:16-21

1⁶But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”^[a] ¹⁷Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. ¹⁸But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did:

“Their voice has gone out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.”^[b]

¹⁹Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,

“I will make you envious by those who are not a nation;
I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”^[c]

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.”^[d]

²¹But concerning Israel he says,

“All day long I have held out my hands
to a disobedient and obstinate people.”^[e]
