Isaiah 10:20-23

Contemporary English Version

Only a Few Will Come Back

²⁰ A time is coming when the survivors from Israel and Judah will completely depend on the holy Lord of Israel, instead of the nation^[a] that defeated them. ^21-22 (A) There were as many people as there are grains of sand along the seashore, but only a few will survive to come back to Israel's mighty God. This is because he has threatened to destroy their nation, just as they deserve. ²³ The Lord All-Powerful has promised that everyone on this earth^[b] will be punished.
