Lamsa(i)
2 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,
3 My LORD, they have killed your prophets and have demolished your altars; and I am left alone; and they seek my life.
4 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.
5 Even so at the present time a remnant is preserved, elected by the grace.
6 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.
7 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.
8 As it is written, God has given them a stubborn spirit, eyes that cannot see, and ears that cannot hear, to this very day.
9 And David said, Let their table become a snare, and a trap and a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and let their backs be bowed down always.
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? Far be it. But rather by their stumbling salvation has come to the Gentiles, in order to make them zealous.
12 Now if their stumbling has resulted in riches to the world, and their condemnation in riches to the Gentiles; how much more is their restoration?
