Romans 9:27

Contemporary English Version

²⁷^(A) And this is what the prophet Isaiah said about the people of Israel,

“The people of Israel
    are as many
as the grains of sand
    along the beach.
But only a few who are left
    will be saved.

Romans 9:27

New International Version

²⁷Isaiah cries out concerning Israel:

“Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea,^(A)
only the remnant will be saved.^(B)

²⁸The Lord will be quick
and sure to do on earth
what he has warned
he will do.”

²⁸For the Lord will carry out
his sentence on earth with speed and finality.”^[a]^(A)
