27 But Isaiah cries out concerning Israel,

Though the number of Israelites

is like the sand of the sea,bf

only the remnant will be saved;bg

28 since the Lord will execute his sentence

completely and decisively on the earth.Q,R,bh

29 And just as Isaiah predicted:

If the Lord of Hostss had not left us offspring,bi

we would have become like Sodom,

and we would have been made like Gomorrah.A,a
