Romans 10:15-21
Paul, here is knocking down excuses that would have let Israel (the Jews) off the hook for their unfaithfulness toward God and His Son Jesus. The claim is they were ignorant because they never really heard or understood the Good News. Paul refutes this quoting the Old Testament and common sense. That Israel was warned about its behaviour and lack of faith crops up in the Old Testament time and time again and the failure to recognise Jesus as God’s messiah is inexcusable because the scriptures pointed to His coming.
Poor old Israel they seemed to have no excuse for their unbelief.
