Romans 11:25-36 (Epistle)

25
For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.
26
And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
27
for this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins.”
28
Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.
29
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
30
For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,
31
even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy.
32
For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.
33
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!
34
“For who has known the mind of the LORD? Or who has become His counselor?”
35
“Or who has first given to Him and it shall be repaid to him?”
36
For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.
