18 But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? On the contrary:

(A)Their voice has gone out into all the earth,
And their words to the ends of the [a]world.”

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

(B)I will (C)make you jealous with those who are not a nation,
With a foolish nation I will anger you.”

20 And Isaiah is very bold and says,

(D)I was found by those who did not seek Me,
I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me.”

21 But as for Israel, He says, “(E)I have spread out My hands all day long to a disobedient and obstinate people.”

  1. Romans 10:18 Or inhabited earth

18 But I ask, “Didn’t they hear?” Certainly they did! In fact,

“Their voice has gone out into the whole world,
    and their words to the ends of the earth.”[a]

19 Again I ask, “Did Israel not understand?” Moses was the first to say,

“I will make you jealous
    by those who are not a nation;
I will make you angry
    by a nation that doesn’t understand.”[b]

20 And Isaiah boldly says,

“I was found by those who were not looking for me;
    I was revealed to those who were not asking for me.”[c]

21 But about Israel he says,

“All day long I have held out my hands
    to a disobedient and rebellious people.”[d]
