9 you whom I took from the ends of the earth,
and called from its farthest corners,
saying to you, “You are kmy servant,
I have chosen you and not cast you off”;
37 eThus says the Lord:
“If the heavens above can be measured,
and the foundations of the earth below can be explored,
then I will cast off all the offspring of Israel
for all that they have done,
declares the Lord.”
25 Thus says the Lord: If I have not established my covenant with day and night and the fixed order of heaven and earth, 26 sthen I will reject the offspring of Jacob and David my servant and will not choose one of his offspring to rule over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes and will have mercy on them.”
The Remnant of Israel
1 I ask, then, has God arejected his people? By no means! For bI myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham,1 a member of the tribe of Benjamin.
