Romans 10:14-21 - Israel's Rejection Of The Message
14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a proclaimer? 15 And how will they proclaim unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things." 16 But they did not all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?" 17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 18 But I say, did they not hear? Yes, truly, "Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world."
19 But I ask, did not Israel know? First Moses says, "I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, with a nation void of understanding I will make you angry."
20 Isaiah is very bold, and says, "I was found by those who did not seek me. I was revealed to those who did not ask for me."
21 But as to Israel he says, "All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people."
