Romans 9:25-29
World English Bible
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.”
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.’”
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.”
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.”
