25 as he saith in Osee, I shall call not my people my people, and not my loved my loved, and not getting mercy getting mercy [and not having mercy having mercy];

26 and it shall be in the place, where it is said to them, Not ye my people, there they shall be called the sons of living God.

27 But Esaias crieth for Israel [Forsooth Esaias crieth for Israel], If the number of children of Israel shall be as [the] gravel of the sea, the remnants [the reliefs] shall be made safe.

28 Forsooth a word making an end, and abridging in equity, for the Lord shall make a word abridged on all the earth[a].

29 And as Esaias before-said, But God of hosts had left to us seed, we had been made as Sodom, and we had been like as Gomorrha.

  1. Romans 9:28 for the Lord shall make a word abridged, or made short, upon earth

25 As he says in Hosea:

“I will call them ‘my people’ who are not my people;
    and I will call her ‘my loved one’ who is not my loved one,”[a](A)

26 and,

“In the very place where it was said to them,
    ‘You are not my people,’
    there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”[b](B)

27 Isaiah cries out concerning Israel:

“Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea,(C)
    only the remnant will be saved.(D)
28 For the Lord will carry out
    his sentence on earth with speed and finality.”[c](E)

29 It is just as Isaiah said previously:

“Unless the Lord Almighty(F)
    had left us descendants,
we would have become like Sodom,
    we would have been like Gomorrah.”[d](G)
