I alone am left, and they seek my life." 4 But what was God’s answer to him? "I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal." 5 So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. 6 And if by grace, then it is no longer based on works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace. 7 What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The chosen obtained it, but the rest were hardened.

Therefore, the earth’s inhabitants are burned, and few people are left. 7 The new wine dries up, the vine withers, and all the merry-hearted groan. 8 The joy of tambourines ceases, the noise of revelers stops, and the joyful sound of the harp is silenced. 9 They no longer drink wine with song; strong drink is bitter to those who drink it. 10 The city of chaos is shattered; every house is shut up so no one may enter. 11 In the streets, there is an outcry over the wine; all joy turns dark, and the gladness of the earth departs. 12 Only desolation is left in the city; the gate is battered into ruins. 13 So it will be in the midst of the earth among the nations, like the shaking of an olive tree, as gleanings after the grape harvest is over.
