7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

And they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”

Romans 9:24-29
King James Version
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.

“(C)I will call those who were not My people, ‘My people,’
And her who was not beloved, ‘beloved.’”
26 “(D)And it shall be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘you are not My people,’
There they shall be called sons of (E)the living God.”
27 Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, “(F)Though the number of the sons of Israel may be (G)like the sand of the sea, only (H)the remnant will be saved; 28 (I)for the Lord will execute His word on the earth, [a]thoroughly and [b]quickly.” 29 And just as Isaiah foretold:
“(J)If (K)the Lord [c]of armies had not left us [d](L)descendants,
(M)We would have become like Sodom, and would have [e]been like Gomorrah.”
