Romans 11:3
World English Bible (WEB)
“Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
In context
1 I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 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.”
5 Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
