Romans 9:25-29
New American Standard Bible
25 as He also says in Hosea:
“(A)I will call those who were not My people, ‘My people,’
And her who was not beloved, ‘beloved.’”
26 “(B)And it shall be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘you are not My people,’
There they shall be called sons of (C)the living God.”
27 Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, “(D)Though the number of the sons of Israel may be (E)like the sand of the sea, only (F)the remnant will be saved; 28 (G)for the Lord will execute His word on the earth, [a]thoroughly and [b]quickly.” 29 And just as Isaiah foretold:
“(H)If (I)the Lord [c]of armies had not left us [d](J)descendants,
(K)We would have become like Sodom, and would have [e]been like Gomorrah.”

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]
