Romans 10:15-21
American Standard Version
15 and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, [a]How beautiful are the feet of them that bring [b]glad tidings of good things!
16 But they did not all hearken to the [c]glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, [d]Lord, who hath believed our report? 17 So belief cometh of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. 18 But I say, Did they not hear? Yea, verily,
19 But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses saith,
[g]I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation,
With a nation void of understanding will I anger you.
20 And Isaiah is very bold, and saith,
[h]I was found of them that sought me not;
I became manifest unto them that asked not of me.
21 But as to Israel he saith, [i]All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

Romans 10:15-21
New International Version
15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”[a](A)
16 But not all the Israelites accepted the good news.(B) For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”[b](C) 17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message,(D) and the message is heard through the word about Christ.(E) 18 But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did:
19 Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,
“I will make you envious(G) by those who are not a nation;
I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”[d](H)
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.”[e](I)
21 But concerning Israel he says,
