Romans 9:33

Romans 9:33

31 but Israel, ^apursuing the law of righteousness, ^bhas not attained to the law of righteousness.

32 Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were,¹ by the works of the law. For ^athey stumbled at that stumbling stone.

33 As it is written:
^a“Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense,
And ^bwhoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”

As it is written - Foretold by their own prophet. Behold, I lay in Sion - I exhibit in my church, what, though it is in truth the only sure foundation of happiness, yet will be in fact a stumblingstone and rock of offence - An occasion of ruin to many, through their obstinate unbelief. Isaiah 8:14; Isaiah 28:16
