The Returning Remnant of Israel

20 And it shall come to pass in that day
That the remnant of Israel,
And such as have escaped of the house of Jacob,
(A)Will never again depend on him who [a]defeated them,
But will depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob,
To the (B)Mighty God.
22 (C)For though your people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea,
(D)A remnant of them will return;
The destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
23 (E)For the Lord God of hosts
Will make a determined end
In the midst of all the land.

Therefore He shall give them up,
Until the time that (A)she who is in labor has given birth;
Then (B)the remnant of His brethren
Shall return to the children of Israel.
And He shall stand and (C)feed[a] His flock
In the strength of the Lord,
In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God;
And they shall abide,
For now He (D)shall be great
To the ends of the earth;
And this One (E)shall be peace.

Judgment on Israel’s Enemies

When the Assyrian comes into our land,
And when he treads in our palaces,
Then we will raise against him
Seven shepherds and eight princely men.
They shall [b]waste with the sword the land of Assyria,
And the land of (F)Nimrod at its entrances;
Thus He shall (G)deliver us from the Assyrian,
When he comes into our land
And when he treads within our borders.

Then (H)the remnant of Jacob
Shall be in the midst of many peoples,
(I)Like dew from the Lord,
Like showers on the grass,
That [c]tarry for no man
Nor [d]wait for the sons of men.
And the remnant of Jacob
Shall be among the Gentiles,
In the midst of many peoples,
Like a (J)lion among the beasts of the forest,
Like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
Who, if he passes through,
Both treads down and tears in pieces,
And none can deliver.
