19And the rest of the trees of his wood will be small in number, so that a child may put them down in writing.
20And it will be in that day that the rest of Israel, and those of Jacob who have come safely through these troubles, will no longer go for help to him whose rod was on their back, but their faith will be in the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.
21The rest, even the rest of Jacob, will come back to the Strong God.
22For though your people, O Israel, are as the sand of the sea, only a small number will come back: for the destruction is fixed, overflowing in righteousness.
23For the Lord, the Lord of armies, is about to make destruction complete in all the land.
24For this cause the Lord, the Lord of armies, says, O my people living in Zion, have no fear of the Assyrian, even if his rod comes on your back, and his stick is lifted up as in Egypt.
25For in a very short time my passion will be over, and my wrath will be turned to their destruction.
