What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

Wie denn nun? Was Israel sucht, das erlangte es nicht; die Auserwählten aber erlangten es. Die andern sind verstockt,
¿Qué pues? Lo que buscaba Israel aquello no ha alcanzado; mas la elección lo ha alcanzado: y los demás fueron endurecidos;
Quoi donc? Ce qu'Israël cherche, il ne l'a pas obtenu, mais l'élection l'a obtenu, tandis que les autres ont été endurcis,
Che dunque? Israele non ha ottenuto quel ch’egli cerca; ma l’elezione l’ha ottenuto, e gli altri sono stati indurati, infino a questo giorno.
Pois quê? O que Israel buscava não o alcançou; mas os eleitos o alcançaram, e os outros foram endurecidos.
那又怎麼說呢? 以色列 人所尋求的,他們沒有得著。但是蒙揀選的人得著了,其餘的人卻成了頑梗不化的。
