31 But Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness,(A) has not achieved the righteousness of the law.[a](B) 32 Why is that? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were by works.[b] They stumbled over the stumbling stone.(C) 33 As it is written,

Look, I am putting a stone in Zion to stumble over
and a rock to trip over,
and the one who believes on him(D)
will not be put to shame.[c](E)
