Psalm 89:38-46
But you have rejected, you have spurned, you have been very angry with your anointed one.You have renounced the covenant with your servant and have defiled his crown in the dust.You have broken through all his walls and reduced his strongholds to ruins.All who pass by have plundered him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors.You have exalted the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice.Indeed, you have turned back the edge of his sword and have not supported him in battle.You have put an end to his splendor and cast his throne to the ground.You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with a mantle of shame.How long, Lord? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire? (niv)

Römer 11:1-5
I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah— how he appealed to God against Israel:“ Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”?And what was God’s answer to him?“ I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
