Isaiah 10:20-23
English Standard Version
The Remnant of Israel Will Return
20 (A)In that day (B)the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no more (C)lean on him who struck them, but (D)will lean on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 21 A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, (E)to the mighty God. 22 (F)For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, (G)only a remnant of them will return. (H)Destruction is decreed, overflowing with righteousness. 23 For the Lord God of hosts will make a full end, as decreed, in the midst of all the earth.

Isaiah 10:20-23
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.
23 Yes, the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
has already decided to destroy the entire land.[b]
