Romans 10:16-21 ▼

16 But not all have obeyed the good news, for Isaiah says, |Lord, who has believed our report?|

17 Consequently faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the preached word of Christ.

18 But I ask, have they not heard? Yes, they have: Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

19 But again I ask, didn't Israel understand? First Moses says, |I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; with a senseless nation I will provoke you to anger.|

20 And Isaiah is even bold enough to say, |I was found by those who did not seek me; I became well known to those who did not ask for me.|

21 But about Israel he says, |All day long I held out my hands to this disobedient and stubborn people!|
