- the remnant:
- "Exceptª the LORDª of hostsª had leftª° unto us a very smallª remnant,ª we should have beenª° as Sodom,ª [and] we should have been likeª° unto Gomorrah.ª" {Isa 1:9} + "In that¹ dayª shall the branchª of the LORDª be¹ beautifulª and glorious,ª and the fruitª of the earthª [shall be] excellentª and comely¹ for² them that are escapedª of Israel.ª ... And it shall come to pass,¹ [that he that is] leftª° in Zion,ª and [he that] remainethª° in Jerusalem,ª shall be calledª° holy,ª [even] every one¹ that is writtenª° among the livingª in Jerusalem:ª" {Isa 4:2-3} + "But yet¹ in it [shall be] a tenth,ª and [it] shall return,ª° and shall be¹ eaten:ª° as a teil tree,ª and as an oak,ª whose¹ substanceª [is] in them, when they castª [their leaves: so] the holyª seedª [shall be] the substanceª thereof." {Isa 6:13} + "It may be¹ the LORDª thy Godª will hearª°¹ the wordsª of Rabshakeh,ª whom¹ the kingª of Assyriaª his masterª hath sentª° to reproachª° the livingª God,ª and will reproveª° the wordsª which¹ the LORDª thy Godª hath heard:ª° wherefore lift upª° [thy] prayerª for¹ the remnantª that is left.ª°" {Isa 37:4} + "And the remnantª° that is escapedª of the houseª of Judahª shall againª° take rootª downward,ª and bearª° fruitª upward:ª ... For¹ out of Jerusalemª¹ shall go forthª° a remnant,ª and they that escapeª out of mountª¹ Zion:ª the zealª of the LORDª of hostsª shall doª° this.¹" {Isa 37:31-32} + "Should we againª° breakª° thy commandments,ª and join in affinityª° with the peopleª of these¹ abominations?ª wouldest not¹ thou be angryª° with us till¹ thou hadst consumedª° [us], so that [there should be] no¹ remnantª nor escaping?ª" {Ezr 9:14} + "Esaiasª alsoª criethª° concerningª Israel,ª Thoughª the¹ numberª of the¹ childrenª of Israelª beª° asª the¹ sandª of the¹ sea,ª a remnantª shall be saved:ª° ... Andª asª Esaiasª said before,ª° Exceptª the Lordª of Sabaothª had leftª° usª a seed,ª we had beenªª° asª Sodoma,ª andª been made likeªª° untoª Gomorrha.ª" {Rom 9:27-29}
