27 And Isaiah cries out about Israel:

Although the number of the sons of Israel is as great as the sand
    of the sea,
only the remnant will be saved.
28 For the Lord, who carries out what he says without delay,[a]
will do what he said completely and decisively on the earth.[b]

29 Just as Isaiah said earlier:

If the Lord of Armies[c] had not left us some descendants,
we would have become like Sodom, and we would have been
    like Gomorrah.[d]
