The Israelites Who Are Left Alive

20 In days to come, some people will still be left alive in Israel.
    They will be from Jacob’s family line.
But they won’t depend any longer on
    the nation that struck them down.
Instead, they will truly depend on the Lord.
    He is the Holy One of Israel.
21 The people of Jacob who are still alive
    will return to the Mighty God.
22 Israel, your people might be as many as the grains of sand by the sea.
    But only a few of them will return.
The Lord has handed down a death sentence.
    He will destroy his people.
    What he does is right.

The Remnant of Israel

20 In that day(A) the remnant of Israel,
    the survivors(B) of Jacob,
will no longer rely(C) on him
    who struck them down(D)
but will truly rely(E) on the Lord,
    the Holy One of Israel.(F)
21 A remnant(G) will return,[a](H) a remnant of Jacob
    will return to the Mighty God.(I)
22 Though your people be like the sand(J) by the sea, Israel,
    only a remnant will return.(K)
Destruction has been decreed,(L)
    overwhelming and righteous.
