Why did Israel fail to attain unto righteousness?

Answer

"But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled
at that stumbling-stone!' Rom. 9: 31, 32.
