爾散於列邦、中有遺民、得脫鋒刃、我使之然。

爾散於列國時、我使爾猶有遺民、得脫鋒刃、居於異邦、

“‘ But I will spare some, for some of you will escape the sword when you are scattered among the lands and nations.

“‘ “But I will spare some of you. Some will escape from being killed by swords. You will be scattered among other lands and nations.

“ Yet I will leave some of you alive. When you have among the nations some who escape the sword, and when you are scattered through the countries,

“ But I will let a few of my people escape destruction, and they will be scattered among the nations of the world.

“ Yet I will leave a remnant when you are scattered among the nations, for throughout the countries there will be some of you who will escape the sword.

“ However, I will leave a remnant, in that you will have those who escaped the sword among the nations when you are scattered among the countries.

“ Yet I will leave a remnant, so that you may have some who escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the countries.

Yet will I leave a remnant, in that ye shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.

“ Yet I will leave a remnant when you are scattered among the nations, for throughout the countries there will be some of you who will escape the sword.

Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have[ some] that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.

“‘“ Yet I will leave a remnant, in that you will have some that escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the countries.

Yet some survivors will be left in it, sons and daughters who will be brought out. They will come out to you, and when you see their behavior and their deeds, you will be consoled about the catastrophe I have brought on Jerusalem– for everything I brought on it.

Some who survive in battle will return to the land of Judah from the land of Egypt. But they will be very few indeed! Then the Judean remnant who have come to live in the land of Egypt will know whose word proves true, mine or theirs.’

Even if only a tenth of the people remain in the land, it will again be destroyed, like one of the large sacred trees or an Asherah pole, when a sacred pillar on a high place is thrown down. That sacred pillar symbolizes the special chosen family.”

But I will let a small number of them survive the sword, famine, and pestilence, so that they can confess all their abominable practices to the nations where they go. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”

None of the Judean remnant who have come to live in the land of Egypt will escape or survive to return to the land of Judah. Though they long to return and live there, none of them shall return except a few fugitives.’”

For I, the LORD, affirm that I will be with you and will rescue you. I will completely destroy all the nations where I scattered you. But I will not completely destroy you. I will indeed discipline you, but only in due measure. I will not allow you to go entirely unpunished.”

Their survivors will escape to the mountains and become like doves of the valleys; all of them will moan– each one for his iniquity.

So in the same way at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.And if it is by grace, it is no longer by works, otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

A third of your people will die of plague or be overcome by the famine within you. A third of your people will fall by the sword surrounding you, and a third I will scatter to the winds. I will unleash a sword behind them.

Has the LORD struck down Israel like he did their oppressors? Has Israel been killed like their enemies?When you summon her for divorce, you prosecute her; he drives her away with his strong wind in the day of the east wind.

Burn a third of it in the fire inside the city when the days of your siege are completed. Take a third and slash it with a sword all around the city. Scatter a third to the wind, and I will unleash a sword behind them.

And Isaiah cries out on behalf of Israel,“ Though the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved,

I, the LORD, tell you not to be afraid, you descendants of Jacob, my servant, for I am with you. Though I completely destroy all the nations where I scatter you, I will not completely destroy you. I will indeed discipline you but only in due measure. I will not allow you to go entirely unpunished.”
