1:9 If the Lord who commands armies 3 had not left us a few survivors,
we would have quickly become like Sodom, 4
we would have become like Gomorrah.
6:8 “‘But I will spare some of you. Some will escape the sword when you are scattered in foreign lands. 18
2:32 It will so happen that
everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be delivered. 19
For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem 20 there will be those who survive, 21
just as the Lord has promised;
the remnant 22 will be those whom the Lord will call. 23
5:15 Hate what is wrong, love what is right!
Promote 24 justice at the city gate! 25
Maybe the Lord, the God who commands armies, will have mercy on 26 those who are left from 27 Joseph. 28
2:12 I will certainly gather all of you, O Jacob,
I will certainly assemble those Israelites who remain. 29
I will bring them together like sheep in a fold, 30
like a flock in the middle of a pasture; 31
they will be so numerous that they will make a lot of noise. 32
7:18 There is no other God like you! 33
You 34 forgive sin
and pardon 35 the rebellion
of those who remain among your people. 36
You do not remain angry forever, 37
but delight in showing loyal love.
2:9 Therefore, as surely as I live,” says the Lord who commands armies, the God of Israel,
“be certain that Moab will become like Sodom
and the Ammonites like Gomorrah.
They will be overrun by weeds, 38
filled with salt pits, 39
and permanently desolate.
Those of my people who are left 40 will plunder their belongings; 41
those who are left in Judah 42 will take possession of their land.”
3:13 The Israelites who remain 43 will not act deceitfully.
They will not lie,
and a deceitful tongue will not be found in their mouth.
Indeed, they will graze peacefully like sheep 44 and lie down;
no one will terrify them.”
9:27 And Isaiah cries out on behalf of Israel, “Though the number of the children 45 of Israel are as the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved,
11:5 So in the same way at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
