Romans 9:25-33

25As he saith also in Hosea, I will call them my people, who were not my people; and her beloved, who was not beloved. 26And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God. 27Isaiah also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: 28For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.1 29And as Isaiah said before, Except the Lord of Hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and been made like Gomorrah.2

30What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith. 31But Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32Why? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; 33As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.3
