18 But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have, for

(A)“Their voice has gone out (B)to all the earth,
    and their words to the ends of the world.”

19 But I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says,

(C)“I will (D)make you jealous of those who are not a nation;
    with a (E)foolish nation I will make you angry.”

20 Then Isaiah is so bold as to say,

(F)“I have been found by those who did not seek me;
    I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me.”

21 But of Israel he says, (G)“All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”

18 But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did:

“Their voice has gone out into all the earth,
    their words to the ends of the world.”[a](A)

19 Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,

“I will make you envious(B) by those who are not a nation;
    I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”[b](C)

20 And Isaiah boldly says,

“I was found by those who did not seek me;
    I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me.”[c](D)

21 But concerning Israel he says,

“All day long I have held out my hands
    to a disobedient and obstinate people.”[d](E)
