Romans 9:31-33 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

31. and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive;

32. wherefore? because--not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling,

33. according as it hath been written, `Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'
