The remnant

Unless the Lord of hosts

Had left us a few survivors,
We would be like Sodom,
We would be like Gomorrah.

For though your people, O Israel, may be like the sand of the sea,
Only a remnant within them will return;
A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.

Then it will happen on that day that the Lord
Will again recover the second time with His hand
The remnant of His people, who will remain,
From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath,
And from the

islands of the sea.

Perhaps the Lord your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which the Lord your God has heard. Therefore, offer a prayer for the remnant that is left.’”

Borne

“But now listen, O Jacob, My servant,
And Israel, whom I have chosen:

Listen to Me, O islands,
And pay attention, you peoples from afar.

The Lord called Me from the womb;

From the body of My mother He named Me.

In all their affliction

He was afflicted,

And the angel of His presence saved them;
In His love and in His mercy He redeemed them,
And He lifted them and carried them all the days of old.

‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to Myself.

and in the wilderness where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, just as a man carries his son, in all the way which you have walked until you came to this place.’

“Like an eagle that stirs up its nest,
That hovers over its young,

He spread His wings and caught them,

He carried them on His pinions.

Yet You are He who brought me forth from the womb;
You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts.

By You I have been sustained from my birth;

You are He who took me from my mother’s womb;
My praise is continually of You.

“When I passed by you and saw you squirming in your blood, I said to you while you were in your blood, ‘Live!’ Yes, I said to you while you were in your blood, ‘Live!’
