Romans 11:1–12

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.

²God 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?

³Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have dug down thy altars. And I am left alone: and they seek my life.

⁴But what saith the divine answer to him? I have left me seven thousand men that have not bowed their knees to Baal.

⁵Even so then, at this present time also, there is a remnant saved according to the election of grace.

⁶And if by grace, it is not now by works: otherwise grace is no more grace.

⁷What then? That which Israel sought, he hath not obtained: but the election hath obtained it. And the rest have been blinded.

⁸As 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.

⁹And David saith: Let their table be made a snare and a trap and a stumbling block and a recompense unto them.

¹⁰Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see: and bow down their back always.

¹¹I say then: Have they so stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid! But by their offence salvation is come to the Gentiles, that they may be emulous of them.

¹²Now if the offence of them be the riches of the world and the diminution of them the riches of the Gentiles: how much more the fulness of them?
