Romans 10:18-21

English Standard Version

¹⁸But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have, for

^(A)“Their voice has gone out ^(B)to all the earth,
and their words to the ends of the world.”

¹⁹But 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.”

²⁰Then 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.”

²¹But of Israel he says, ^(G)“All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
