Romans 10:19 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

But hath not Israel known — They might have known, even from Moses and Isaiah, that many of the gentiles would be received, and many of the Jews rejected. I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are not a nation — As they followed gods that were not gods, so he accepted in their stead a nation that was not a nation; that is, a nation that was not in covenant with God. A foolish nation — Such are all which know not God. Deuteronomy 32:21
