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

¹⁴ How then shall they call on him, in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him, of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? ¹⁵ and how shall men preach, unless they are sent forth? as it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!" ¹⁶ But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, "Lord, who hath believed what he hath heard from us?" ¹⁷ Faith then cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. ¹⁸ But I say, Did they not hear? Yes truly, "Their voice went forth into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world."

¹⁹ But I say, Hath not Israel had knowledge? First, Moses saith, "I will move you to jealousy by that which is no nation, I will excite you to indignation by a foolish people."

²⁰ But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, "I was found by those who sought me not, I became known to those who inquired not for me."

²¹ But concerning Israel he saith, "All the day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and rebellious people."
