God Has Not Rejected Israel

1

I say then: Hath God cast away his people? God forbid! For I also am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

2

God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Know you not what the scripture saith of Elias, how he calleth on God against Israel?

3

Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have dug down thy altars. And I am left alone: and they seek my life.

4

But what saith the divine answer to him? I have left me seven thousand men that have not bowed their knees to Baal.

5

Even so then, at this present time also, there is a remnant saved according to the election of grace.

6

And if by grace, it is not now by works: otherwise grace is no more grace.

7

What then? That which Israel sought, he hath not obtained: but the election hath obtained it. And the rest have been blinded.

8

As it is written: God hath given them the spirit of insensibility; eyes that they should not see and ears that they should not hear, until this present day.

9

And David saith: Let their table be made a snare and a trap and a stumbling block and a recompense unto them.

10

Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see: and bow down their back always.
