The Restoration of Israel

10 [a]Yet the number of the people of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which can be neither measured nor numbered, and in the place where it was said to them, “You are not my people,” it shall be said to them, “Children of the living God.”(A) 11 The people of Judah and the people of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint for themselves one head, and they shall rise up from the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel.(B)

[b]Say to your brothers, “Ammi,”[c] and to your sisters, “Ruhamah.”[d]

10 Yet the number of the Israelites
will be like the sand of the sea,(A)
which cannot be measured or counted.
And in the place where they were told:
You are not my people,
they will be called: Sons of the living God.(B)
11 And the Judeans and the Israelites
will be gathered together.(C)
They will appoint for themselves a single ruler(D)
and go up from[a] the land.
For the day of Jezreel(E) will be great.
Call[b] your brothers: My People
and your sisters: Compassion.
