Verse Takeaways

God's Call to the Gentiles
Nearly all commentators agree that this verse is a clear prophecy about the inclusion of the Gentiles (non-Jewish nations) into God's family. The Apostle Paul confirms this interpretation in Romans 10:20. God declares that He will be found by a people who were not previously seeking Him or even called by His name, revealing that His plan of salvation extends beyond the nation of Israel.
