The Remnant of Israel

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.

  1. Jeremiah 23:39 Or surely forget you

38 But now you have (A)cast off and rejected;
    you are full of wrath against your (B)anointed.
39 You have (C)renounced (D)the covenant with your servant;
    you have (E)defiled his (F)crown in the dust.
40 You have (G)breached all his walls;
    you have laid his strongholds in ruins.
41 (H)All who pass by plunder him;
    he has become (I)the scorn of his neighbors.
42 You have exalted the right hand of his foes;
    you have made all his enemies rejoice.
43 You have also turned back the edge of his sword,
    and you have not made him stand in battle.
44 You have made his splendor to cease
    and cast his throne to the ground.
45 You have cut short (J)the days of his youth;
    you have (K)covered him with shame. Selah

46 (L)How long, O Lord? Will you hide yourself forever?
    How long will your wrath (M)burn like fire?

I said,[a] “Let me remember my (A)song in the night;
    let me (B)meditate in my heart.”
    Then my spirit made a diligent search:
“Will the Lord (C)spurn forever,
    and never again (D)be favorable?
Has his steadfast love forever ceased?
    Are his (E)promises at an end for all time?
(F)Has God forgotten to be gracious?
    (G)Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah
