Romans 9:30-33 - Israel's Present State

³⁰ What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn't follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith; ³¹ but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn't arrive at the law of righteousness. ³² Why? Because they didn't seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone; ³³ even as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed."
