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]
