18. And it will consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field,Both soul and body;And they will be as when a sick man wastes away.
19. Then the rest of the trees of his forestWill be so few in numberThat a child may write them.
20. And it shall come to pass in that dayThat the remnant of Israel,And such as have escaped of the house of Jacob,Will never again depend on him who defeated them,But will depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21. The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob,To the Mighty God.
22. For though your people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea,A remnant of them will return;The destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
