For so says the Lord Jehovah, The city that goes out by a thousand shall have a hundred left. And that which goes out by a hundred shall have ten left in the house of Israel.
For though Your people Israel is like the sand of the sea, only a remnant of it shall return, and an end will be decisive, overflowing with righteousness.
But yet a tenth shall be in it, and it shall return and be burned like the terebinth tree and like the oak that in being felled yet has its stump (the holy seed is its stump).
But of them I will leave a number of mankind from the sword, from the famine, and from the plague, so that they may declare all their disgusting things among the nations, there where they go. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.
And you shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars of the heavens for multitude, because you would not listen to the voice of Jehovah your God.
And it shall be, as Jehovah exulted over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so Jehovah shall exult over you to destroy you, and to lay you waste. And you shall be plucked from the land you are going to possess.
