16 But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”[h]

17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

18 But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”[i]

19 Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says, “I will make you envious by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”[j]

20 And Isaiah boldly says, “I was found by those who did not seek me; I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me.”[k]

21 But concerning Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”[l]
