'Cast' in the Bible

I ask then, Has God cast off His People? No, indeed. Why, I myself am an Israelite, of the posterity of Abraham and of the tribe of Benjamin.

God has not cast off His People whom He knew beforehand. Or are you ignorant of what Scripture says in speaking of Elijah--how he pleaded with God against Israel, saying,

For if their having been cast aside has carried with it the reconciliation of the world, what will their being accepted again be but Life out of death?
