Romans 9:29 BBE

²⁷  And Isaiah says about Israel, Even if the number of the children of Israel is as the sand of the sea, only a small part will get salvation:

²⁸  For the Lord will give effect to his word on the earth, putting an end to it and cutting it short.

²⁹  And, as Isaiah had said before, If the Lord of armies had not given us a seed, we would have been like Sodom and Gomorrah.

³⁰  What then may we say? That the nations who did not go after righteousness have got righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:

³¹  But Israel, going after a law of righteousness, did not get it.
