Isaiah 50:2
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
2 Why was no one there when I came?
Why did no one answer when I called?
Is my arm powerless to redeem?
Or have I no strength to deliver?
By my rebuke I dry up the sea;
I make the rivers a desert,
so that their fish stink for lack of water
and die of thirst.[a](A)

Romans 11:12-22
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 Now if their stumbling[a] means riches for the world and if their loss means riches for gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!
13 Now I am speaking to you gentiles. Inasmuch as I am an apostle to the gentiles, I celebrate my ministry(A) 14 in order to make my own people[b] jealous and thus save some of them.(B) 15 For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? 16 If the part of the dough offered as first fruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; and if the root is holy, then the branches also are holy.
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted among the others to share the rich root[c] of the olive tree, 18 do not boast over the branches. If you do boast, remember: you do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20 That is true. They were broken off on account of unbelief,[d] but you stand on account of belief.[e] So do not become arrogant, but be afraid.(C) 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.[f] 22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen but God’s kindness toward you, if you continue in his kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.(D)

19 I am about to do a new thing;
now it springs forth; do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
