11 For the Scripture says, (A)“Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For (B)there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for (C)the same Lord over all (D)is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For (E)“whoever calls (F)on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Israel Rejects the Gospel

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 (G)without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:

(H)“How beautiful are the feet of those who [a]preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, (I)Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

18 But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed:

(J)“Their sound has gone out to all the earth,
And their words to the ends of the world.”

19 But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says:

(K)“I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation,
I will move you to anger by a (L)foolish nation.”

20 But Isaiah is very bold and says:

(M)“I was found by those who did not seek Me;
I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me.”

21 But to Israel he says:

(N)“All day long I have stretched out My hands
To a disobedient and contrary people.”

ט TETH

65 You have dealt well with Your servant,
O Lord, according to Your word.
66 Teach me good judgment and (A)knowledge,
For I believe Your commandments.
67 Before I was (B)afflicted I went astray,
But now I keep Your word.
68 You are (C)good, and do good;
Teach me Your statutes.
69 The proud have (D)forged[a] a lie against me,
But I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart.
70 (E)Their heart is [b]as fat as grease,
But I delight in Your law.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes.
72 (F)The law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of coins of gold and silver.

י YOD

73 (G)Your hands have made me and fashioned me;
Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.
74 (H)Those who fear You will be glad when they see me,
Because I have hoped in Your word.
75 I know, O Lord, (I)that Your judgments are [c]right,
And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.
76 Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort,
According to Your word to Your servant.
77 Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live;
For Your law is my delight.
78 Let the proud (J)be ashamed,
For they treated me wrongfully with falsehood;
But I will meditate on Your precepts.
79 Let those who fear You turn to me,
Those who know Your testimonies.
80 Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes,
That I may not be ashamed.
