Romans 11:2
World English Bible (WEB)
God didn’t reject his people, whom he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:

3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
4 But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
