Romans 11:6 BBE

⁴  But what answer does God make to him? I have still seven thousand men whose knees have not been bent to Baal.

⁵  In the same way, there are at this present time some who are marked out by the selection of grace.

⁶  But if it is of grace, then it is no longer of works: or grace would not be grace.

⁷  What then? That which Israel was searching for he did not get, but those of the selection got it and the rest were made hard.

⁸  As it was said in the holy Writings, God gave them a spirit of sleep, eyes which might not see, and ears which have no hearing, to this day.
