- "But thou,¹ Israel,ª [art] my servant,ª Jacobª whom¹ I have chosen,ª° the seedª of Abrahamª my friend.ª° ... [Thou] whom¹ I have takenª° from the endsª¹ of the earth,ª and calledª° thee from the chief menª¹ thereof, and saidª° unto thee, Thou¹ [art] my servant;ª I have chosenª° thee, and not¹ cast thee away.ª°" {Isa 41:8-9} + "For¹ I¹ [am] the LORDª thy God,ª the Holy Oneª of Israel,ª thy Saviour:ª° I gaveª° Egyptª [for] thy ransom,ª Ethiopiaª and Sebaª for¹ thee. ... Since¹¹ thou wast preciousª° in my sight,ª thou hast been honourable,ª° and I¹ have lovedª° thee: therefore will I giveª° menª for¹ thee, and peopleª for¹ thy life.ª" {Isa 43:3-4} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª your redeemer,ª° the Holy Oneª of Israel;ª For your sake¹ I have sentª° to Babylon,ª and have brought downª° all¹ their nobles,ª and the Chaldeans,ª whose cryª [is] in the ships.ª" {Isa 43:14} + "Yet now¹ hear,ª° O Jacobª my servant;ª and Israel,ª whom I have chosen:ª°" {Isa 44:1} + "Now¹ therefore, if¹ ye will obey²° my voice² indeed,ª°¹ and keepª°¹ my covenant,ª then ye shall be¹ a peculiar treasureª unto me above all¹¹ people:ª for¹ all¹ the earthª [is] mine: ... And ye¹ shall be¹ unto me a kingdomª of priests,ª and an holyª nation.ª These¹ [are] the wordsª which¹ thou shalt speakª° unto¹ the childrenª of Israel.ª" {Exd 19:5-6} + "Israelª [is] a scatteredª° sheep;ª the lionsª have driven [him] away:ª° firstª the kingª of Assyriaª hath devouredª° him; and lastª this¹ Nebuchadrezzarª kingª of Babylonª hath broken his bones.ª° ... In those¹ days,ª and in that¹ time,ª saithª° the LORD,ª¹ the iniquityª of Israelª shall be sought for,ª° and [there shall be] none;¹ and the sinsª of Judah,ª and they shall not¹ be found:ª° for¹ I will pardonª° them whom¹ I reserve.ª°" {Jer 50:17-20} + "Andª exceptª thoseª daysª should be shortened,ª° there² should² no²¹ fleshª be saved:ª°¹ butª for² the elect's sakeª¹¹ thoseª daysª shall be shortened.ª°" {Mtt 24:22} + "Andª exceptª that the Lordª had shortenedª° those days,ª noªª fleshª should be² saved:ª°¹ butª for² the elect's sake,ª¹¹ whomª he hath chosen,ª° he hath shortenedª° the¹ days.ª" {Mrk 13:20} + "¹ Notª as² thoughª²¹ the¹ wordª of Godª hath taken none effect.ª° Forª they¹ [are] notª allª² Israel,ª whichª² are of¹ Israel:ª" {Rom 9:6} + "Whatª then?ª Israelª hath²°¹ notª obtainedª° that² whichª he seeketh for;ª° butª the¹ electionª hath obtained¹ it,²° andª the¹ restª were blindedª°" {Rom 11:7}
