XL  II.  TO  THE  ROMANS.  369

I  will  provoke  you  to  jealousy  with  that  which  is  no

nation,
With  a  nation  void  of  understanding  will   I  anger

you.
20  "And  Isaiah  is  very  bold,  and  saith,

I  was  found  of  them  that  sought  me  not ;

I  became  manifest  unto  them  that  asked  not  of  me.
21  "But  as  to  Israel  he  saith,  All  the  day  long  did  I  spread
out  my  hands  unto  a  disobedient  and  gainsaying  people.
Ill       I  say  then.  Did  God  cast  off  his  people  ?    God  forbid.
