a“I will call them My people, who were not My people,
And her beloved, who was not beloved.”
‘You are not My people,’
There they shall be called sons of the living God.”
a“Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea,
bThe remnant will be saved.
aBecause the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
a“Unless the Lord of1 Sabaoth had left us a seed,
bWe would have become like Sodom,
And we would have been made like Gomorrah.”

Romans 9:27
Esaias also crieth - The apostle pursues his argument, which had for its object the proof that God, for their infidelity, had rejected the great body of the Jews, and that but a few of them would embrace the Gospel, and be saved from that besom of destruction which was now coming to sweep them and their state away. Dr. Taylor paraphrases this and the following verses thus: And that but a small remnant of the Jews shall now be taken into the Church, is agreeable to former dispensations; for the Prophet Isaiah expressly declares concerning the Israelites, Isaiah 10:22, Isaiah 10:23 : Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, (for the promise to Abraham has been amply fulfilled), only a remnant shall be saved; the consumption decreed shall overflow in righteousness. For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined in the midst of all the land.
