20 At that time some people will be left alive in Israel
    from the family of Jacob.
They will not continue to depend
    on the person who defeated them.
They will learn truly to depend on the Lord,
    the Holy One of Israel.
21 Those who are left alive in Jacob’s family
    will again follow the powerful God.
22 Israel, your people are many,
    like the grains of sand by the sea.
    But only a few of them will be left alive to return to the Lord.
God has announced that he will destroy the land
    completely and fairly.

The Returning Remnant of Israel

20 And it shall come to pass in that day
That the remnant of Israel,
And such as have escaped of the house of Jacob,
(A)Will never again depend on him who [a]defeated them,
But will depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob,
To the (B)Mighty God.
22 (C)For though your people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea,
(D)A remnant of them will return;
The destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
