Far be it. For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/romans/11-2.htm#aramaic"><b>2</b></a></span>God has not rejected his people which he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Elijah? How he complained to God against Israel, saying, <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/romans/11-3.htm#aramaic"><b>3</b></a></span>My LORD, they have killed your prophets and have demolished your altars; and I am left alone; and they seek my life. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/romans/11-4.htm#aramaic"><b>4</b></a></span>And it was said to him in a vision: Behold I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not knelt on their knees to worship Baal. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/romans/11-5.htm#aramaic"><b>5</b></a></span>Even so at the present time a remnant is preserved, elected by the grace. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/romans/11-6.htm#aramaic"><b>6</b></a></span>And if by grace, then it is not by works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if by works, then it is not by grace: otherwise work is no more work.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/romans/11-7.htm#aramaic"><b>7</b></a></span>What then? Israel has not obtained that which he sought; but the elected ones have obtained it, and the rest were blinded in their hearts.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/romans/11-8.htm#aramaic"><b>8</b></a></span>As it is written, God has given them a stubborn spirit, eyes that cannot see, and ears that cannot hear, to this very day.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/romans/11-9.htm#aramaic"><b>9</b></a></span>And David said, Let their table become a snare, and a trap and a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/romans/11-10.htm#aramaic"><b>10</b></a></span>Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and let their backs be bowed down always.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/romans/11-11.htm#aramaic"><b>11</b></a></span>I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? Far be it.
