Isaiah 65:8
New King James Version
8 Thus says the Lord:
“As the new wine is found in the cluster,
And one says, ‘Do not destroy it,
For (A)a blessing is in it,’
So will I do for My servants’ sake,
That I may not destroy them (B)all.
Romans 9:27-29
New King James Version
27 Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel:
(A)“Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea,
(B)The remnant will be saved.
28 For [a]He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness,
(C)Because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
29 And as Isaiah said before:
(D)“Unless the Lord of [b]Sabaoth had left us a seed,
(E)We would have become like Sodom,
And we would have been made like Gomorrah.”

Amos 9:8-9
New King James Version
8 “Behold, (A)the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom,
And I (B)will destroy it from the face of the earth;
Yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”
Says the Lord.
9 “For surely I will command,
And will [a]sift the house of Israel among all nations,
As grain is sifted in a sieve;
(C)Yet not the smallest [b]grain shall fall to the ground.
Romans 11:5-6
New King James Version
5 (A)Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6 And (B)if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. [a]But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

Isaiah 6:13
New King James Version
13 But yet a tenth will be in it,
And will return and be for consuming,
As a terebinth tree or as an oak,
Whose stump remains when it is cut down.
So (A)the holy seed shall be its stump.”
Romans 11:24-26
New King James Version
24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be (A)wise in your own [a]opinion, that (B)blindness in part has happened to Israel (C)until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be [b]saved, as it is written:
(D)“The Deliverer will come out of Zion,
And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
