Romans 10:21

Romans 10:21

19 But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says:
^a“I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation,
I will move you to anger by a ^bfoolish nation.”

20 But Isaiah is very bold and says:
^a“I was found by those who did not seek Me;
I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me.”

21 But to Israel he says:
^a“All day long I have stretched out My hands
To a disobedient and contrary people.”

Unto a disobedient and a gainsaying people (prov laon apeiqounta kai antilegonta). "Unto a people disobeying and talking back." The two things usually go together. Contrary and contradictory (Luke 13:34 f.).
