Romans 11:2-12 God has not rejected his people whom he chose long ago. Do you not know what the Scripture says in the story about Elijah, when he pleads with God against Israel?

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² God has not rejected his people whom he chose long ago. Do you not know what the Scripture says in the story about Elijah, when he pleads with God against Israel? ³ “Lord, they have killed your prophets and demolished your altars. I am the only one left, and they are trying to take my life.” ⁴ But what was the divine reply to him? “I have reserved for myself 7,000 people who have not knelt to worship Baal.” ⁵ So it is at the present time: there is a remnant, chosen by grace. ⁶ But if this is by grace, then it is no longer on the basis of actions. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace.
⁷ What, then, does this mean? It means that Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking, but the selected group obtained it while the rest were hardened. ⁸ As it is written, “To this day God has put them into deep sleep. Their eyes do not see, and their ears do not hear.”
⁹ And David says, “Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a punishment for them. ¹⁰ Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and keep their backs forever bent.”
¹¹ The Salvation of the GentilesAnd so I ask, “They have not stumbled so as to fall, have they?” Of course not! On the contrary, because of their stumbling, salvation has come to the gentiles to make the Jews jealous. ¹² Now if their stumbling means riches for the world, and if their fall means riches for the gentiles, how much more will their full participation mean!
