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.

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.’
11 (E)Then the children of Judah and the children of Israel
Shall be gathered together,
And appoint for themselves one head;
And they shall come up out of the land,
For great will be the day of Jezreel!
