25 As He also says in Hosea:

I will call Not My People, My People,
and she who is Unloved, Beloved.(A)[a]
26 And it will be in the place where they were told,
you are not My people,
there they will be called sons of the living God.(B)[b]

27 But Isaiah cries out concerning Israel:

Though the number of Israel’s sons
is like the sand of the sea,(C)
only the remnant will be saved;(D)
28 for the Lord will execute His sentence
completely and decisively on the earth.[c](E)[d]

29 And just as Isaiah predicted:

If the Lord of Hosts[e] had not left us offspring,(F)
we would have become like Sodom,
and we would have been made like Gomorrah.(G)[f]
