Romans 10:14-21 - Israel's Rejection Of The Message
14 How then will they call upon [him] in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe [in him] about whom they have not heard? And how will they hear about [him] without one who preaches [to them]? 15 And how will they preach, unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "How timely [are] the feet of those who bring good news of good things." 16 But not all have obeyed the good news, for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?" 17 Consequently, faith [comes] by hearing, and hearing through the word about Christ. 18 But I say, they have not heard, have they? On the contrary, "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the inhabited world."
19 But I say, Israel did not know, did they? First, Moses says, "I will provoke you [to jealousy] by [those who are] not a nation; by a senseless nation I will provoke you [to anger]."
20 And Isaiah is very bold and says, "I was found by those who did not seek me; I became known to those who did not ask for me."
21 But about Israel he says, "The whole day [long] I held out my hands to a disobedient and resistant people."
