Romans 10:14-21 - Israel's Rejection Of The Message
14 How, then, shall men call upon one in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in one of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear, without one to proclaim? 15 And how shall they proclaim, except they be sent? Even as it is written - How beautiful the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But, not all, have become obedient unto the glad tidings; - for, Isaiah, saith - Lord! who believed what we have heard? 17 Hence, our faith, cometh by something heard, and, that which is heard, through a declaration of Christ. 18 But I say: Have they not heard? Yea indeed, - into all the earth, hath gone forth their sound, and, unto the ends of the inhabited world, their declarations.
19 But I say: Hath, Israel, not come to know? First, Moses, saith - I, will provoke you to jealousy on account of a no-nation, on account of an undiscerning nation, will I make you very angry.
20 Isaiah, however, waxeth daring, and saith, - I have been found by them who after me were not seeking, manifest have I become unto them who for me were not enquiring;
21 Whereas, regarding Israel, he saith - All day long, have I stretched forth my hands unto a people unyielding and contradicting.
