Romans 9:27

^a“I will call them My people, who were not My people,
And her beloved, who was not beloved.”

26 “And^a it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them,
‘You are not My people,’
There they shall be called sons of the living God.”

^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.”
