Romans 10:19-21

Context
10:19 But again I ask, didn’t Israel understand?¹ First Moses says, “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; with a senseless nation I will provoke you to anger.”² 10:20 And Isaiah is even bold enough to say, “I was found by those who did not seek me; I became well known to those who did not ask for me.”³ 10:21 But about Israel he says, “All day long I held out my hands to this disobedient and stubborn people!”⁴

[10:19] ¹tn Grk “Israel did not ‘not know,’ did he?” The double negative in Greek has been translated as a positive affirmation for clarity (see v. 18 above for a similar situation).
