Lamentations 3:31
English Standard Version
31 (A)For the Lord will not
cast off forever,
Isaiah 54:7-10
English Standard Version
7 (A)For a brief moment I deserted you,
but with great compassion I will gather you.
8 (B)In overflowing anger for a moment
I hid my face from you,
(C)but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”
says the Lord, your Redeemer.
9 “This is like (D)the days of Noah[a] to me:
as I swore that the waters of Noah
should no more go over the earth,
so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you,
and will not rebuke you.
10 For the mountains may depart
and the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
and (E)my covenant of peace shall not be removed,”
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

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. 6 (H)But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

for all that they have done,
