Acts 28:24-28

24 And ^esome were convinced by what he said, but others disbelieved. 25 And disagreeing among themselves, they departed after Paul had made one statement: ^f“The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet:

26 ^g“‘Go to this people, and say,
^h“You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.”
27 ⁱFor this people’s heart has grown dull,
and with their ears they can barely hear,
and their eyes they have closed;
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
and ^jturn, and I would heal them.’
28 Therefore let it be known to you that ^kthis ^lsalvation of God ^mhas been sent to the Gentiles; ⁿthey will listen.” ^{▼▼Some manuscripts add verse 29: And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having much dispute among themselves}

Romans 10:19

19 But I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says,

^p“I will ^qmake you jealous of those who are not a nation;
with a ^rfoolish nation I will make you angry.”
