Romans 11:32
30 Just as you who formerly disobeyed God have now received mercy through their disobedience,
31 so they too have now disobeyed, in order that they too may now receive mercy through the mercy shown to you.
For God has consigned everyone to disobedience so that He may have mercy on everyone.
33 O, 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?”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
