- "And I¹ will gatherª°¹ the remnantª of my flockª out of all¹¹ countriesª whither¹¹ I have drivenª° them, and will bring them againª°¹ to¹ their folds;ª and they shall be fruitfulª° and increase.ª°" {Jer 23:3} + "Behold,¹ I will bringª° them from the northª country,ª¹ and gatherª° them from the coastsª¹ of the earth,ª [and] with them the blindª and the lame,ª the woman with child²¹ and her that travaileth with childª° together:ª a greatª companyª shall returnª° thither.¹ ... Hearª° the wordª of the LORD,ª O ye nations,ª and declareª° [it] in the islesª afar off,ª¹ and say,ª° He that scatteredª° Israelª will gatherª° him, and keepª° him, as a shepherdª° [doth] his flock.ª" {Jer 31:8-10} + "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} + "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} + "For¹ though¹ thy peopleª Israelª be¹ as the sandª of the sea,ª [yet] a remnantª of them shall return:ª° the consumptionª decreedª° shall overflowª° with righteousness.ª" {Isa 10:22} + "And it shall come to pass¹ in that¹ day,ª [that] the Lordª shall set²° his handª againª° the second timeª to recoverª°¹ the remnantª of his people,ª which¹ shall be left,ª° from Assyria,ª¹ and from Egypt,ª¹ and from Pathros,ª¹ and from Cush,ª¹ and from Elam,ª¹ and from Shinar,ª¹ and from Hamath,ª¹ and from the islandsª¹ of the sea.ª ... And he shall set upª° an ensignª for the nations,ª and shall assembleª° the outcasts²°¹ of Israel,ª and gather togetherª° the dispersedª° of Judahª from the fourª¹ cornersª of the earth.ª" {Isa 11:11-12} + "Yet gleaning grapesª shall be leftª° in it, as the shakingª of an olive tree,ª twoª [or] threeª berriesª in the topª of the uppermost bough,ª fourª [or] fiveª in the outmost fruitfulª° branchesª thereof, saithª° the LORDª Godª of Israel.ª" {Isa 17:6} + "When¹ thus¹ it shall be¹ in the midstª of the landª amongª the people,ª [there shall be] as the shakingª of an olive tree,ª [and] as the gleaning grapesª when¹ the vintageª is done.ª° ... Wherefore¹¹ glorifyª° ye the LORDª in the fires,ª [even] the nameª of the LORDª Godª of Israelª in the islesª of the sea.ª" {Isa 24:13-15} + "For¹ thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª Behold,¹ I, [even] I,¹ will both searchª°¹ my sheep,ª and seek them out.ª° ... I will feedª° them in a goodª pasture,ª and upon the highª mountainsª of Israelª shall their foldª be:¹ there¹ shall they lieª° in a goodª fold,ª and [in] a fatª pastureª shall they feedª° upon¹ the mountainsª of Israel.ª" {Ezk 34:11-14} + "Awake,ª° O sword,ª against¹ my shepherd,ª° and against¹ the manª [that is] my fellow,ª saithª° the LORDª of hosts:ª smiteª°¹ the shepherd,ª° and the sheepª shall be scattered:ª° and I will turnª° mine handª upon¹ the little ones.ª° ... And I will bringª°¹ the third partª through the fire,ª and will refineª° them as¹ silverª is refined,ª° and will tryª° them as¹ goldª is tried:ª° they¹ shall callª° on my name,ª and I¹ will hearª° them: I will say,ª° It¹ [is] my people:ª and they¹ shall say,ª° The LORDª [is] my God.ª" {Zch 13:7-9} + "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°" {Rom 9:27} + "Butª whatª saithª° the¹ answer of Godª unto him?ª I have reservedª° to myselfª seven thousandª men,ª whoª have²° notª bowedª° the kneeª to [the image of] Baal.ª ... Andª ifª by grace,ª then [is it] no moreª² ofª works:ª otherwiseª graceª isª° no moreª² grace.ª Butª ifª [it be] ofª works,ª then is¹ it²° no moreª² grace:ª otherwiseª workª isª° no moreª² work.ª" {Rom 11:4-6}
