20 Now on that day the (A)remnant of Israel, and those of the house of Jacob (B)who have escaped, will no longer rely on the one who struck them, but will truly (C)rely on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

21 A (D)remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the (E)mighty God.
22 For (F)though your people, Israel, may be like the sand of the sea,
Only a remnant within them will return;
A (G)destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.

  1. Isaiah 10:21 Hebrew shear-jashub (see 7:3 and note); also in verse 22

Then the (A)remnant of Jacob
Will be among many peoples
Like (B)dew from the Lord,
Like (C)showers on vegetation
That do not wait for man,
Or delay for [a]mankind.
The remnant of Jacob
Will be among the nations,
Among many peoples
(D)Like a lion among the animals of the forest,
Like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
Which, if he passes through,
(E)Tramples and (F)tears,
And there is (G)no one who can rescue.

  1. Micah 5:7 Lit sons of mankind

The remnant(A) of Jacob will be
    in the midst of many peoples
like dew(B) from the Lord,
    like showers on the grass,(C)
which do not wait for anyone
    or depend on man.
The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,
    in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the beasts of the forest,(D)
    like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
which mauls and mangles(E) as it goes,
    and no one can rescue.(F)
