19 But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says:

(A)“I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation,
I will move you to anger by a (B)foolish nation.”

20 But Isaiah is very bold and says:

(C)“I was found by those who did not seek Me;
I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me.”

(D)“All day long I have stretched out My hands
To a disobedient and contrary people.”
