Romans 9:25-29
International Standard Version
25 As the Scripture[a] says in Hosea,
“Those who are not my people
I will call my people,
and the one who was not loved
I will call my loved one.[b]
26 In the very place where it was told them,
‘You are not my people,’
they will be called children of the living God.”[c]
27 Isaiah also calls out concerning Israel,
“Although the descendants of Israel
are as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore,
only a few will be saved.
28 For the Lord[d] will carry out his plan decisively,
bringing it to completion on the earth.”[e]
29 It is just as Isaiah predicted:
“If the Lord of the Heavenly Armies
had not left us some descendants,
we would have become like Sodom
and would have been compared to Gomorrah.”[f]
