Romans 9:27-29

New International Reader's Version

“The number of people from Israel may be like the sand by the sea.
    But only a few of them will be saved.
²⁸ The Lord will carry out his sentence.
    He will be quick to carry it out on earth, once and for all.” (Isaiah 10:22,23)

“The Lord who rules over all
    left us children and grandchildren.
If he hadn’t, we would have become like Sodom.
    We would have been like Gomorrah.” (Isaiah 1:9)
