The Remnant Will Return

20 On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer depend on the one who struck them, but they will faithfully depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.(A)

21 The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob,
to the Mighty God.
22 Israel, even if your people were as numerous
as the sand of the sea,
only a remnant of them will return.(B)
Destruction has been decreed;
justice overflows.

The Glorious and Purified Remnant

Then the remnant of Jacob(A)
will be among many peoples
like dew from the Lord,(B)
like showers on the grass,(C)
which do not wait for anyone
or linger for mankind.
Then the remnant of Jacob
will be among the nations, among many peoples,
like a lion among animals of the forest,(D)
like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
which tramples(E) and tears(F) as it passes through,
and there is no one to rescue them.(G)
