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]

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.

4 And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”[a](A) 5 So too, at the present time there is a remnant(B) chosen by grace.(C) 6 And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works;(D) if it were, grace would no longer be grace.

Micah 5:3-8
New Living Translation
3 The people of Israel will be abandoned to their enemies
until the woman in labor gives birth.
Then at last his fellow countrymen
will return from exile to their own land.
4 And he will stand to lead his flock with the Lord’s strength,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
Then his people will live there undisturbed,
for he will be highly honored around the world.
5 And he will be the source of peace.
When the Assyrians invade our land
and break through our defenses,
we will appoint seven rulers to watch over us,
eight princes to lead us.
6 They will rule Assyria with drawn swords
and enter the gates of the land of Nimrod.
He will rescue us from the Assyrians
when they pour over the borders to invade our land.
The Remnant Purified
7 Then the remnant left in Israel[a]
will take their place among the nations.
They will be like dew sent by the Lord
or like rain falling on the grass,
which no one can hold back
and no one can restrain.
8 The remnant left in Israel
will take their place among the nations.
They will be like a lion among the animals of the forest,
like a strong young lion among flocks of sheep and goats,
pouncing and tearing as they go
with no rescuer in sight.

3 Therefore Israel will be abandoned(A)
until the time when she who is in labor bears a son,
and the rest of his brothers return
to join the Israelites.
4 He will stand and shepherd his flock(B)
in the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they will live securely, for then his greatness(C)
will reach to the ends of the earth.
5 And he will be our peace(D)
when the Assyrians invade(E) our land
and march through our fortresses.
We will raise against them seven shepherds,
even eight commanders,(F)
6 who will rule[a] the land of Assyria with the sword,
the land of Nimrod(G) with drawn sword.[b](H)
He will deliver us from the Assyrians
when they invade our land
and march across our borders.(I)
7 The remnant(J) of Jacob will be
in the midst of many peoples
like dew(K) from the Lord,
like showers on the grass,(L)
which do not wait for anyone
or depend on man.
8 The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,
in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the beasts of the forest,(M)
like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
which mauls and mangles(N) as it goes,
and no one can rescue.(O)
