Romans 10:18-21
Expanded Bible

18 But I ask: Didn’t ·people [L they; C Israel] ·hear the Good News [L hear]? Yes, they heard—as the Scripture says:

“Their ·message [voice] went out to all the earth;
    their words ·go everywhere on [L to the ends of] the world [Ps. 19:4].”

19 Again I ask: Didn’t ·the people of Israel [L Israel] understand? Yes, they did understand [C this sentence is implied, but not stated, in the Greek]. First, Moses says:

“I will use those who are not a nation [C the Gentiles] to make you jealous.
    I will use a nation that ·does not understand [is foolish/senseless] to make you angry [Deut. 32:21].”

20 Then Isaiah is bold enough to say:

“I was found by those who were not ·asking me for help [seeking/looking for me].
    I ·made myself known [revealed myself] to people who were not ·looking for [asking about/for] me [Is. 65:1].”

21 But about Israel ·God [or Isaiah; L he] says,

“All day long I ·stood ready to accept [L held out my hands to]
    people who ·disobey [disbelieve] and are ·stubborn [defiant; rebellious; Is. 65:2].”
