1 Therefore, I say: Has God driven away his people? Let it not be so! For I, too, am an Israelite of the offspring of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God has not driven away his people, whom he foreknew. And do you not know what Scripture says in Elijah, how he calls upon God against Israel?
3 'Lord, they have slain your Prophets. They have overturned your altars. And I alone remain, and they are seeking my life.'
4 But what is the Divine response to him? 'I have retained for myself seven thousand men, who have not bent their knees before Baal.'
5 Therefore, in the same way, again in this time, there is a remnant that has been saved in accord with the choice of grace.
