Romans 10:14-21 - Israel's Rejection Of The Message

¹⁴ But how will they give worship to him in whom they have no faith? and how will they have faith in him of whom they have not had news? and how will they have news without a preacher? ¹⁵ And how will there be preachers if they are not sent? As it is said, How beautiful are the feet of those who give the glad news of good things. ¹⁶ But they have not all given ear to the good news. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has had faith in our word? ¹⁷ So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. ¹⁸ But I say, Did not the word come to their ears? Yes, certainly: Their sound has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

¹⁹ But I say, Had Israel no knowledge? First Moses says, You will be moved to envy by that which is not a nation, and by a foolish people I will make you angry.

²⁰ And Isaiah says without fear, Those who were not searching for me made discovery of me; and I was seen by those whose hearts were turned away from me.

²¹ But about Israel he says; All the day my hands have been stretched out to a people whose hearts were turned away, and who put themselves against my word.
