²² Israel, though your people are many,
    like the grains of sand by the sea [48:19; Gen. 15:5; 22:17; Hos. 1:10].
    only a ·few [^Lremnant] of them will ·be left alive to return to the Lord [^Lreturn; 7:3].
·God has announced that he will destroy the land [Destruction has been decreed]
    ·completely and fairly [^Loverflowing/overwhelming with righteousness/justice].
