Charles Spurgeon Commentary Romans 10:19-21

"But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, With a nation void of understanding will I anger you. 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. But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people." — Romans 10:19-21 (ASV)

First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me. But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

God grant that we may not be like them! Amen.

First Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. But Isaiah is very bold, and says, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest to them that asked not after me. But to Israel he says, All day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and gainsaying people.

Oh, that God would soon bring these "disobedient and gainsaying people" – whether Jews or Gentiles – to submit themselves to his righteousness, and so to be saved! May he graciously grant it, for Jesus Christ's sake! Amen.
