Romans 10:14-21 - Israel's Rejection Of The Message
14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without someone to preach? 15 How will they preach unless they have been sent? Just as it is written: How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace and who bring good tidings of good things! For they proclaim salvation and say to Zion: Your God reigns as king! (Hebrew: Elohiym' malak': God rules!) (Isaiah 52:7) 16 But they have not all obeyed the good news. For Isaiah says: Jehovah, who has believed our message? (Isaiah 53:1) 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word about Christ. 18 I say: Have they not heard? Yes in fact their sound went into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the inhabited earth. (Psalm 19:4)
19 I say Israel did not know. First Moses said: I will provoke you people to rivalry through that which is not a nation, and I will anger you with a foolish nation. (Deuteronomy 32:21)
20 Isaiah is very bold, and says: Those who did not seek me found me. I was made manifest to those who did not ask for me.
21 But to Israel he says: All day long I have stretched out my hands to a people who are disobedient and self-willed (obstinate). (Isaiah 65:1, 2)
