Romans 11:1–12

I say then, Did God cast off his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. ²God did not cast off his people which he foreknew. Or know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he pleadeth with God against Israel: ³Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. ⁴But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have left for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal. ⁵Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. ⁶But if it is by grace, it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. ⁷What then? That which Israel seeketh for, that he obtained not; but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened: ⁸according as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this very day. ⁹And David saith,

Let their table be made a snare, and a trap,

And a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them:

¹⁰Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see,

And bow thou down their back always.

¹¹I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? God forbid: but by their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy. ¹²Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
