For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

The verse 22 is found in chapter 10 of Isaiah. Assyria is described as an instrument used by God to punish, yet its pride will also be judged. The Assyrian king attributes his conquests to his own strength and wisdom, ignoring that Yahweh used him as an instrument. The passage develops a fundamental paradox of divine sovereignty: God can employ an ungodly power without approving its arrogance.

Denn ob dein Volk, o Israel, ist wie Sand am Meer, sollen doch nur seine Übriggebliebenen bekehrt werden. Denn Verderben ist beschlossen; und die Gerechtigkeit kommt überschwenglich.
Porque si tu pueblo, oh Israel, fuere como las arenas de la mar, las reliquias de él se convertirán: la destrucción acordada rebosará justicia.
Aunque tu pueblo, Israel, sea como la arena del mar, solo un remanente de él volverá. Una destrucción ha sido decretada, rebosante de justicia.
Quand ton peuple, ô Israël, serait comme le sable de la mer, Un reste seulement reviendra; La destruction est résolue, elle fera déborder la justice.
Perciocchè, avvegnachè il tuo popolo, o Israele, fosse come la rena del mare, il sol rimanente di esso si convertirà; una distruzione è determinata, e farà inondare la giustizia.
Porque ainda que o teu povo, ó Israel, seja como a areia do mar, só um remanescente dele se converterá; uma destruição está determinada, transbordando em justiça.
以色列 啊,你的百姓雖多如海沙,惟有剩下的歸回。滅絕之事已成定局,公義必如水漲溢。
