Thomas Aquinas, on Rom 11:23

“And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.”

“Second, he shows the same with respect to the Jews. First, he states the fact: and they also, namely, the Jews, if they do not abide still in unbelief, shall be grafted in, i.e., restored to their former status: you have prostituted yourself to many lovers. Nevertheless, return to me, says the Lord (Jer 3:1). Then he proves what he has said: first, from God's power, saying: for God is able to graft them in again; therefore, their salvation is not to be despaired of: behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save (Isa 59:1).”
