Even as Isaiah had said before, "Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left unto us a seed, we should have become as Sodom, and been made like unto Gomorrha."

"Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I only am left, and they seek my life."

But what saith the oracle of God to him? "I have left to myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
