Connecting Statement:
With Israel as a nation rejecting God, Paul warns the Gentiles to be careful they do not make the same mistake.
Did they stumble so as to fall?
Paul uses this question to add introduce the next thing he wants to say. If your language uses a different way to introduce new topics, you can use it here. Here the words "stumble" and "fall" are metaphors for sinning and having God reject the sinner. Alternate translation: "Has God rejected them forever because they sinned?" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion)
May it never be.
"That is not possible!" or "Certainly not!" This expression strongly denies that this could happen. You may have a similar expression in your language that you could use here. See how you translated this in Romans 9:14.
provoke ... to jealousy
See how you translated this phrase in Romans 10:19.
