Romains 10:21 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 10:21

But to Israel he saith
Or against Israel, or concerning Israel he saith in the same prophecy in ( Isaiah 65:2 ) .

All day long I have stretched forth my hands, unto a disobedient and
gainsaying people:
very rightly does the apostle apply these words to Israel, as he does the former to the Gentiles; and just in like manner does the above mentioned Jewish writer, R. Moses the priest, interpret them. The Lord's "stretching out [his] hands all the day long" to them, designs the ministry of the prophets one after another to them, the preaching of John the Baptist, of Christ and his apostles among them: but they were a stiffnecked and rebellious people, uncircumcised in heart and ears; would have none of his counsel, and despised his reproof; contradicted and blasphemed the word; rejected the Messiah and his Gospel; killed the Prince of life, and persecuted his apostles; so that it was just with God to write a "Lo-ammi", ( Hosea 1:9 ) , upon them, and cast them off; and, to pave the way for the account of the rejection of these people in the next chapter, is all this said, and these testimonies produced.

Romains 10:21 In-Context

19 Je demande encore: Israël n'en a-t-il point eu connaissance? Moïse dit le premier: Je vous provoquerai à la jalousie par ce qui n'est pas un peuple; je vous exciterai à l'indignation par une nation privée d'intelligence.

20 Et Ésaïe ose dire: J'ai été trouvé par ceux qui ne me cherchaient point, j'ai été connu par ceux qui ne s'informaient point de moi.

21 Mais à l'égard d'Israël, il dit: J'ai tout le jour étendu mes mains vers un peuple rebelle et contredisant.
