KJV ORIGINAL
But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
But wait — are we saying Israel didn't know this was coming? Moses literally warned them: 'I'm going to make you jealous by blessing people who weren't even considered a real nation, and I'll frustrate you by using people you think are foolish.'
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God warned Israel way back that he'd bless the outsiders to get their attention.
