25 As it says also in Hosea,

I will call “my people” those who aren’t my people,
    and the one who isn’t well loved, I will call “loved one.”[a]

26 And in the place where it was said to them,

You aren’t my people,
    there they will be called “the living God’s children.”[b]

27 But Isaiah cries out for Israel,

Though the number of Israel’s children will be like the sand of the sea,
    only a remaining part will be saved,
28         because the Lord does what he says completely and quickly.[c]

29 As Isaiah prophesied,

If the Lord of the heavenly forces had not left descendants for us,
    we would have been like Sodom,
    and we would have become like Gomorrah.[d]
