Romans 9:32-33
9:32 Why not? Because they pursued
it not by faith but (as if it were possible) by works.
They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
9:33 just as it is written,
“Look, I am laying in Zion a stone that will cause people to stumble
and a rock that will make them fall,
yet the one who believes in him will not be put to shame.”
