31 For out of Jerusalem shall go a ^xremnant, and out of Mount Zion a band of survivors. ^yThe zeal of the Lord will do this.

6 So couriers went throughout all Israel and Judah with letters from the king and his princes, as the king had commanded, saying, “O people of Israel, ^xreturn to the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may turn again to the remnant of you who have escaped ^yfrom the hand of the kings of Assyria.

2 that ^cHanani, one of my brothers, came with certain men from Judah. And I asked them concerning the Jews who escaped, who had survived the exile, and concerning Jerusalem.

The Branch of the Lord Glorified

2 In that day the branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land shall be the pride and honor of the survivors of Israel.

28 And those who escape the sword shall return from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, ^cfew in number; and all the remnant of Judah, who came to the land of Egypt to live, shall know whose word will stand, mine or theirs.

8 “Yet I will ^fleave some of you alive. When you have among the nations some who ^gescape the sword, and when you are scattered through the countries,

32 And it shall come to pass that ^meveryone who ⁿcalls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For ^oin Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has said, and among the survivors shall be ^pthose whom the Lord calls.
