“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](C)

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](D)

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

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