27 And Esaias cries for Israel, If the number of the sons of Israel as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved: 28 For finishing and cutting short the word in justice: for the Lord will make the word cut short upon the earth. 29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us seed, as Sodom had we been, and as Gomorrha had we been likened. 30 What then shall we say? That the nations, not following justice, overtook justice, and the justice of faith. 31 And Israel following the law of justice, reached not the law of justice. 32 Wherefore? Because not of faith, but as of the works of the law. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone; 33 As has been written, Behold I set in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence: and every one believing on him shall not be ashamed.
