Romans 9:30

27 Isaiah cries concerning Israel, "If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, It is the remnant who will be saved;

28 For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, Because the LORD will make a short work upon the earth."

29 As Isaiah has said before, "Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us a seed, We would have become like Sodom, And would have been made like Gomorrah."

30 What will we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn`t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;

31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn`t arrive at the law of righteousness.

32 Why? Because they didn`t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;

33 even as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. And no one who believes in him will be put to shame."
