THE REMNANT WILL RETURN

20 On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer depend on the one who struck them, but they will faithfully depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.k

21 The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob,

to the Mighty God.

22 Israel, even if your people were as numerous

as the sand of the sea,

only a remnant of them will return.l

Destruction has been decreed;

justice overflows.

23 For throughout the land

the Lord God of Armies

is carrying out a destruction that was decreed.
