Except Jehovah of Hosts had left us a small remnant, we would be as Sodom; we would be as Gomorrah.

But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return and be consumed like the terebinth and like the oak when it is cut down, whose stump remains. The holy seed is its stump.

Thus says Jehovah, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it; so I will do to My servants, that I may not destroy them all.

And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah one who inherits My mountains; and My elect shall inherit it, and My servants shall dwell there.

And it shall come to pass in all the land, says Jehovah, that two parts in it shall be cut off and perish, but the third shall be left in it.

And I will bring the third part through the fire, and I will refine them as silver is refined. And I will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, It is My people, and they shall say, Jehovah is my God.

And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be kept safe alive; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.

Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were hardened.

Indeed, concerning the gospel they are enemies because of you, but concerning the election they are beloved because of the fathers.

For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,

For God has enclosed everyone in disobedience, that He might have mercy on each one.
