25 As he says also in Hosea,

“I will call them ‘my people,’ which were not my people;
    and her ‘beloved,’ who was not beloved.”Hosea 2:23
26 “It will be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’
    there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”Hosea 1:10

27 Isaiah cries concerning Israel,

“If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea,
    it is the remnant who will be saved;
28 for He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness,
    because the LORD will make a short work upon the earth.”Isaiah 10:22-23

29 As Isaiah has said before,

“Unless the Lord of Armies[a] had left us a seed,
    we would have become like Sodom,
    and would have been made like Gomorrah.”Isaiah 1:9

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

25 As it[a] also says in Hosea,

I will call Not My People, My People,
and she who is Unloved, Beloved.[b](A)
26 And it will be in the place where they were told,
you are not my people,
there they will be called sons of the living God.[c](B)

27 But Isaiah cries out concerning Israel,

Though the number of Israelites
is like the sand of the sea,(C)
only the remnant will be saved;(D)
28 since the Lord will execute his sentence
completely and decisively on the earth.[d][e] (E)

29 And just as Isaiah predicted:

If the Lord of Armies had not left us offspring,(F)
we would have become like Sodom,
and we would have been made like Gomorrah.[f](G)
