Romans 10:18-21
English Standard Version
18 But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have, for
19 But I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says,
(C)“I will (D)make you jealous of those who are not a nation;
with a (E)foolish nation I will make you angry.”
20 Then Isaiah is so bold as to say,
(F)“I have been found by those who did not seek me;
I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me.”
21 But of Israel he says, (G)“All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”

18 But I say, they have not heard, have they?[a] On the contrary,
“Their voice has gone out to all the earth,
and their words to the ends of the inhabited world.”[b]
19 But I say, Israel did not know, did they?[c] 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.”[d]
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.”[e]
21 But about Israel he says,
“The whole day long I held out my hands
to a disobedient and resistant people.”[f]
