For not knowing about God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.I feel like this is part of a logical loop, where there's an important piece missing. If the people didn't know about God's righteousness, how are they supposed to subject themselves to it? As it says later in the chapter, how can one believe in something they haven't heard about?
I think the key here must be that middle section, that they wanted to establish their own righteousness. It wasn't so much that they couldn't have heard, but that they didn't really want to hear. They decided they wanted to go their own way, and therefore weren't interested in what anyone else had to say, not even God.
