Hosea 1:10
New King James Version
The Restoration of Israel
10 “Yet (A)the number of the children of Israel
Shall be as the sand of the sea,
Which cannot be measured or numbered.
(B)And it shall come to pass
In the place where it was said to them,
‘You are [a]not My (C)people,’
There it shall be said to them,
‘You are (D)sons of the living God.’

Isaiah 28:15-22
New King James Version
15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
And with Sheol we are in agreement.
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
It will not come to us,
(A)For we have made lies our refuge,
And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”
A Cornerstone in Zion
16 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, I lay in Zion (B)a stone for a foundation,
A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
Whoever believes will not act hastily.
17 Also I will make justice the measuring line,
And righteousness the plummet;
The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
And the waters will overflow the hiding place.
18 Your covenant with death will be annulled,
And your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
Then you will be trampled down by it.
19 As often as it goes out it will take you;
For morning by morning it will pass over,
And by day and by night;
It will be a terror just to understand the report.”
20 For the bed is too short to stretch out on,
And the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself in it.
21 For the Lord will rise up as at Mount (C)Perazim,
He will be angry as in the Valley of (D)Gibeon—
That He may do His work, (E)His awesome work,
And bring to pass His act, His [a]unusual act.
22 Now therefore, do not be mockers,
Lest your bonds be made strong;
For I have heard from the Lord God of hosts,
(F)A [b]destruction determined even upon the whole earth.

Isaiah 27:10-11
New King James Version
10 Yet the fortified city will be (A)desolate,
The habitation forsaken and left like a wilderness;
There the calf will feed, and there it will lie down
And consume its branches.
11 When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off;
The women come and set them on fire.
For (B)it is a people of no understanding;
Therefore He who made them will (C)not have mercy on them,
And (D)He who formed them will show them no favor.
Isaiah 8:8
New King James Version
8 He will pass through Judah,
He will overflow and pass over,

And the stretching out of his wings
Will [a]fill the breadth of Your land, O (B)Immanuel.[b]
