Isaiah 10:19-24

19The trees that remain in the forest will be so few that a child could count them.

20At that time the remaining few Israelites, the survivors of Jacob’s descendants will no longer depend on the one who struck them. They will only depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

21A few, the remaining few of Jacob, will return to the mighty God.

22Although your people Israel may be as ⌞numerous as⌟ the grains of sand on the seashore, only a few will return. Destruction will be complete and fair.

23The Almighty Lord of Armies will carry out this destruction throughout the world as he has determined.

24The Almighty Lord of Armies says: My people who live in Zion, don’t be afraid of the Assyrians when they strike with a rod or when they raise their staff against you as the Egyptians did.
