Isaiah 10:22-23
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
22 Though your people, O Israel,
were like the sand of the sea,(A)
Only a remnant of them will return;
their destruction is decreed,
as overflowing justice demands.(B)
23 For the Lord, the God of hosts, is about to carry out the destruction decreed in the midst of the whole land.(C)

Hosea 2:1
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 2
1 [a]The number of the Israelites
will be like the sand of the sea,
which can be neither measured nor counted.(A)
Instead of being told,
“You are Not-My-People,”
They will be called,
“Children of the living God.”(B)
Footnotes
- 2:1–3 These verses abruptly reverse the tone of the judgments of 1:2–9 with words of hope for the covenant people: the name Jezreel is given a positive interpretation in contrast to its negative meaning in 1:4; the child named “Not-Pitied” in 1:6 is renamed “Pitied” in 2:3; the child named “Not-My-People” is renamed “My People.” The reversal of these names occurs again in 2:25.
