‘I will say to people who were not my people,
“Now you are my people.”
I will say to people that I did not love,
“I love you.” ’^[a]

²⁶ ‘God had said to them,
“You are not my people.”
In the same place where he said that,

‘There are so many of Israel's people, nobody can count them.
They are as many as the bits of sand on the shore of the sea.
But God will save only a few of them.
