You made your people Israel your very own forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.

You made Israel your very own people forever. Lord, you have become our God.

And you made your people Israel to be your people forever, and you, O Lord, became their God.

You chose Israel to be your very own people forever, and you, O Lord, became their God.

You made your people Israel your own people forever, and you, LORD, have become their God.

For You have made Your people Israel Your own people forever, and You, Lord, became their God.

For You have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; and You, Lord, have become their God.

For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, Jehovah, becamest their God.

For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.

You made Israel your very own nation for all time. You, O LORD, became their God.

For you made your people Israel your own people forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.

Now if you will listen to Me and carefully keep My covenant, you will be My own possession out of all the peoples, although all the earth is Mine,and you will be My kingdom of priests and My holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to say to the Israelites.”

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

The Lord will not abandon His people, because of His great name and because He has determined to make you His own people.

“ Look, the days are coming”— this is the Lord’s declaration—“ when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.This one will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt— a covenant they broke even though I had married them”— the Lord’s declaration.“ Instead, this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days”— the Lord’s declaration.“ I will put My teaching within them and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be My people.No longer will one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying,‘ Know the Lord,’ for they will all know Me, from the least to the greatest of them”— this is the Lord’s declaration.“ For I will forgive their wrongdoing and never again remember their sin.

I ask, then, has God rejected His people? Absolutely not! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah— how he pleads with 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 take my life!But what was God’s reply to him? I have left 7,000 men for Myself who have not bowed down to Baal.In the same way, then, there is also at the present time a remnant chosen by grace.Now if by grace, then it is not by works; otherwise grace ceases to be grace.What then? Israel did not find what it was looking for, but the elect did find it. The rest were hardened,as it is written: God gave them a spirit of insensitivity, eyes that cannot see and ears that cannot hear, to this day.And David says: Let their feasting become a snare and a trap, a pitfall and a retribution to them.Let their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent continually.I ask, then, have they stumbled in order to fall? Absolutely not! On the contrary, by their stumbling, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous.Now if their stumbling brings riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full number bring!

As He also says in Hosea: I will call Not My People, My People, and she who is Unloved, Beloved.And it will be in the place where they were told, you are not My people, there they will be called sons of the living God.

I will put this third through the fire; I will refine them as silver is refined and test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say: They are My people, and they will say: Yahweh is our God.”

I will keep My covenant between Me and you, and your future offspring throughout their generations, as an everlasting covenant to be your God and the God of your offspring after you.

And today the Lord has affirmed that you are His special people as He promised you, that you are to keep all His commands,that He will elevate you to praise, fame, and glory above all the nations He has made, and that you will be a holy people to the Lord your God as He promised.”

For you are a holy people belonging to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be His own possession out of all the peoples on the face of the earth.“ The Lord was devoted to you and chose you, not because you were more numerous than all peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.But because the Lord loved you and kept the oath He swore to your fathers, He brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from the place of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple service, and the promises.The ancestors are theirs, and from them, by physical descent, came the Messiah, who is God over all, praised forever. Amen.But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
