10 “And the number of the sons of Israel must become like the grains of the sand of the sea that cannot be measured or numbered.+ And it must occur that in the place in which it used to be said to them, ‘YOU men are not my people,’+ it will be said to them, ‘The sons of the living God.’*+

11 “And many nations will certainly become joined to Jehovah in that day,+ and they will actually become my people;+ and I will reside in the midst of you.”* And you will have to know that Jehovah of armies himself has sent me to you.+

10 For YOU were once not a people, but are now God’s people;+ YOU were those who had not been shown mercy, but are now those who have been shown mercy.+
