Bible verse
Though your people, O Israel, be like the sand of the sea, only a remnant will return. Destruction has been decreed, overflowing with righteousness.
Isaiah 10:22 · BSB
The verses around it, from Isaiah 10.
18 The splendor of its forests and orchards, both soul and body, it will completely destroy, as a sickness consumes a man.
19 The remaining trees of its forests will be so few that a child could count them.
20 On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer depend on him who struck them, but they will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
21 A remnant will return—a remnant of Jacob—to the Mighty God.
22 Though your people, O Israel, be like the sand of the sea, only a remnant will return. Destruction has been decreed, overflowing with righteousness.
23 For the Lord GOD of Hosts will carry out the destruction decreed upon the whole land.
24 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “O My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear Assyria, who strikes you with a rod and lifts his staff against you as the Egyptians did.
25 For in just a little while My fury against you will subside, and My anger will turn to their destruction.”
26 And the LORD of Hosts will brandish a whip against them, as when He struck Midian at the rock of Oreb. He will raise His staff over the sea, as He did in Egypt.
