“But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.”
But Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it. — In stark contrast, Israel pursued (διώκω, diōkō) a νόμος (nomos, "law") of righteousness (λόγος δικαιοσύνης, logos dikaiosynēs) yet failed (φθάνω, phthanō, "reach") it. Works-righteousness led nowhere; Israel's pursuit ended in stumbling.
