  1. 9:29 Greek: Sabaoth (for Hebrew: Tze’va’ot)

25 As he saith also in Hosea,

[a]I will call that my people, which was not my people;
And her beloved, that was not beloved.
26 [b]And it shall be, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people,
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.
