Charles Ellicott Commentary Romans 10:20

"And Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I became manifest unto them that asked not of me." — Romans 10:20 (ASV)

Is very bold.—Comes forward and tells them the naked truth.

I was found.—The original of the quotation referred to the apostate Israel; St. Paul here applies it to the Gentiles.
