- Isaiah 10:20–23
Read Isaiah 10:21 with 10:20–23. By itself, “The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God” can be detached from the speaker, addressee, historical horizon, poetic movement, or outcome that gives it force. The complete unit establishes: Survivors cease relying on the striker and return in truth while a determined consumption still passes through the land.
Why It Needs Context
The prophetic poem or speech in Isaiah states or reports “The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God” at Isaiah 10:21 as a specific part of “A Remnant Returns to the Mighty God.” Its force depends on the complete movement and outcome of Isaiah 10:20–23; the isolated line is connective rather than a complete teaching claim.
