25 As He says also in Hosea:

(A)“I will call them My people, who were not My people,
And her beloved, who was not beloved.”
26 “And(B) it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them,
‘You are not My people,’
There they shall be called sons of the living God.”

27 Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel:

(C)“Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea,
(D)The remnant will be saved.
28 For [a]He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness,
(E)Because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”

29 And as Isaiah said before:

(F)“Unless the Lord of [b]Sabaoth had left us a seed,
(G)We would have become like Sodom,
And we would have been made like Gomorrah.”

[a]I will call that my people, which was not my people;
And her beloved, that was not beloved.

There shall they be called sons of the living God.

27 And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, [c]If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that shall be saved: 28 for the Lord will execute his word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short. 29 And, as Isaiah hath said before,

[d]Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed,
We had become as Sodom, and had been made like unto Gomorrah.
