The Restoration of Israel

25 For I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, lest you be wise in your own estimation, for a partial hardening has come upon Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:

“The Deliverer will come out of Zion,
    and He will remove ungodliness from Jacob”;[a]
27 “for this is My covenant with them,
    when I shall take away their sins.”[b]

28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sake, but as regarding the election, they are beloved for the sake of the patriarchs. 29 For the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For just as you once were disobedient to God, but have now received mercy through their disobedience, 31 so these also have now been disobedient, that they also may receive mercy by the mercy shown to you. 32 For God has imprisoned them all in disobedience, so that He might be merciful to all.

33 O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!
    How unsearchable are His judgments
    and unfathomable are His ways!
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord?
    Or who has become His counselor?”[c]
35 “Or who has first given to Him,
    and it shall be repaid to him?”[d]
36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things.
    To Him be glory forever! Amen.
