Romans 9:31-33

Mace(i) 31 but Israel, who followed the law of justice, hath not attained to the law of justice. 32 why? because they sought it not by faith, but indeed by the works of the law: for they stumbled at that stumbling-stone; 33 as it is written, "behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling-stone, and a rock of offence: and whosoever believeth in him, shall not be ashamed."
