21 A remnant will return;[a]
    yes, the remnant of Jacob will return to the Mighty God.
22 But though the people of Israel are as numerous
    as the sand of the seashore,
only a remnant of them will return.

23 Yes, the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
    has already decided to destroy the entire land.[b]
