A Remnant Will Return

20 Now on that day the (A)remnant of Israel, and those of the house of Jacob (B)who have escaped, will no longer rely on the one who struck them, but will truly (C)rely on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

21 A (D)remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the (E)mighty God.
22 For (F)though your people, Israel, may be like the sand of the sea,
Only a remnant within them will return;
A (G)destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.

23 For a complete destruction, one that is determined, (H)the Lord [a]God of armies will execute in the midst of the whole land.
