Jeremiah 31:37
English Standard Version
37 Thus says the Lord:
“If the heavens above can be measured,
and the foundations of the earth below can be explored,
(A)then I will cast off all the offspring of Israel
for all that they have done,
declares the Lord.”
Jeremiah 33:24-26
English Standard Version
24 “Have you not observed that these people are saying, ‘The Lord has rejected the two clans that he chose’? Thus they have despised my people so that they are no longer a nation in their sight. 25 Thus says the Lord: (A)If I have not established my covenant with day and night and the fixed order of heaven and earth, 26 then I will reject the offspring of Jacob and David my servant and will not choose one of his offspring to rule over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. (B)For I will restore their fortunes and will have mercy on them.”

12 (A)Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand
and marked off the heavens with a span,

and the hills in a balance?

(A)“The Deliverer will come (B)from Zion,
he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;

(D)when I take away their sins.”

Romans 11:1-5
English Standard Version
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. 2 (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? 3 (E)“Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.” 4 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.” 5 So too at the present time there is (G)a remnant, chosen by grace.
