Isaiah 1:9

31 And you who are left in Judah,
who have escaped the ravages of the siege,
will put roots down in your own soil
and grow up and flourish.

a group of survivors from Mount Zion.
The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies
will make this happen!

Romans 11:4-6
New Living Translation
4 And do you remember God’s reply? He said, “No, I have 7,000 others who have never bowed down to Baal!”[a]
5 It is the same today, for a few of the people of Israel[b] have remained faithful because of God’s grace—his undeserved kindness in choosing them. 6 And since it is through God’s kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God’s grace would not be what it really is—free and undeserved.

New Living Translation
Hope for the Lord’s People
20 In that day the remnant left in Israel,
the survivors in the house of Jacob,
will no longer depend on allies
who seek to destroy them.
But they will faithfully trust the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel.
21 A remnant will return;[a]
yes, the remnant of Jacob will return to the Mighty God.
22 But though the people of Israel are as numerous
as the sand of the seashore,
only a remnant of them will return.
The Lord has rightly decided to destroy his people.
Isaiah 10:20-22
New International Version
The Remnant of Israel
20 In that day(A) the remnant of Israel,
the survivors(B) of Jacob,
will no longer rely(C) on him
who struck them down(D)
but will truly rely(E) on the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel.(F)
21 A remnant(G) will return,[a](H) a remnant of Jacob
will return to the Mighty God.(I)
22 Though your people be like the sand(J) by the sea, Israel,
only a remnant will return.(K)
Destruction has been decreed,(L)
overwhelming and righteous.
