25As he says also in Hosea, "I will call them `my people,` which were not my people; And her `beloved,` who was not beloved."
26"It will be that in the place where it was said to them, `You are not my people,` There will they be called `sons of the living God.`"
27Isaiah cries concerning Israel, "If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, It is the remnant who will be saved;
28For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, Because the LORD will make a short work upon the earth."
29As Isaiah has said before, "Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us a seed, We would have become like Sodom, And would have been made like Gomorrah."
30What will we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn`t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
31but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn`t arrive at the law of righteousness.
