Romans 9:33 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

As it is written; viz. in Isaiah 8:14, and Isaiah 28:16; to which prophecy also the apostle Peter refers, in 1 Peter 2:6-8. A stumbling stone; Jesus Christ is properly a corner-stone, elect and precious; but accidentally and eventually a stumbling-stone, Luke 2:34. Ashamed; or confounded. Isaiah saith, he that believeth; the apostle, whosoever believeth; which is much the same: an indefinite proposition is equivalent to a universal. The prophet saith: He that believeth shall not make haste; the apostle, he shall not be ashamed. He that is rash and hasty will at last be ashamed and confounded.

Romans 9:33

33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.f
