romans 11:2 God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in [the passage about] Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?

2-4. God hath--"did"
not cast away his people--that is, wholly
which he foreknew--On the word "foreknew," see on Ro 8:29.
Wot--that is, "Know"
ye not that the scripture saith of--literally, "in," that is, in the section which relates to
Elias? how he maketh intercession--"pleadeth"
against Israel--(The word "saying," which follows, as also the particle "and" before "digged down," should be omitted, as without manuscript authority).

romans 11:2 God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in [the passage about] Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?
