11 I ask, then, (A)has God rejected his people? By no means! For (B)I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham,[a] a member of the tribe of Benjamin. (C)God has not rejected his people whom he (D)foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? (E)“Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.” But what is God's reply to him? (F)“I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” So too at the present time there is (G)a remnant, chosen by grace. (H)But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

13 Ephraim, (F)as I have seen, was like a young palm[a] planted in a meadow;
    but (G)Ephraim must lead his children out to slaughter.[b]
14 Give them, O Lord
    what will you give?
Give them (H)a miscarrying womb
    and dry breasts.

15 Every evil of theirs is in (I)Gilgal;
    there I began to hate them.
Because of the wickedness of their deeds
    I will drive them out of my house.
I will love them no more;
    all (J)their princes are (K)rebels.

16 Ephraim is stricken;
    (L)their root is dried up;
    they shall bear no fruit.
Even (M)though they give birth,

17 (O)My God will reject them
    because they have not listened to him;
