26And it shall come to pass , that in the placewhere it was said unto them,Ye are notmypeople;there shall they be called the children of the livingGod.27EsaiasalsocriethconcerningIsrael,Though the number of the children of Israelbeas the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved :
28For he will finish the work,aand cut it shortinrighteousness:because a shortworkwill the Lordmakeupon the earth.29AndasEsaias said before , Except the Lord of Sabaoth had leftus a seed, we had beenasSodoma,and been made likeuntoGomorrha.30What shall we saythen?That the Gentiles,whichfollowednot after righteousness, have attained to righteousness,even the righteousnesswhich is offaith.31ButIsrael, which followed after the law of righteousness,hathnotattainedto the law of righteousness.32Wherefore?Because they sought it notbyfaith,butas it were by the works of the law.For they stumbled at that stumblingstone ;
33As it is written , Behold , I layinSion a stumblingstoneandrock of offence:andwhosoeverbelievethonhimshallnot be ashamed .b
