Romans 11:33-36

The Remnant, the Grafted Gentiles, and the Mercy of God Toward Israel

Paul moves from denying that God has rejected Israel, to proving remnant grace through Elijah, to explaining Israel's hardening, to showing Gentile salvation through Israel's stumbling, to warning Gentiles against arrogance, to revealing the mystery of partial hardening and future Israelite salvation, to declaring God's irrevocable calling, universal mercy, and unsearchable wisdom.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

33O, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and untraceable His ways!

34“Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?”

35“Who has first given to God, that God should repay him?”

36For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen.
