وَتَبْقَى فِيهِ خُصَاصَةٌ كَنَفْضِ زَيْتُونَةٍ، حَبَّتَانِ أَوْ ثَلاَثٌ فِي رَأْسِ الْفَرْعِ، وَأَرْبَعٌ أَوْ خَمْسٌ فِي أَفْنَانِ الْمُثْمِرَةِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ إِلهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Mercy is here reserved, in a parenthesis, in the midst of judgment, for a remnant that should escape the common ruin of the kingdom of the ten tribes. Though the Assyrians took all the care they could that none should slip out of their net, yet the meek of the earth were hidden in the day of the Lord's anger, and had their lives given them for a prey and made comfortable to them by their retirement to the land of Judah, where they had the liberty of God's courts. 1. They shall be but a small remnant, a very few, who shall be marked for preservation (Isa 17:6): Gleaning grapes shall be left in it. The body of the people were carried into captivity, but here and there one was left behind, perhaps one of two in a bed when the other was taken, Luk 17:34. The most desolating judgments in this world are short of the last judgment, which shall be universal and which none shall escape. In times of the greatest calamity some are kept safe, as in times of the greatest degeneracy some are kept pure. But the fewness of those that escape supposes the captivity of the far greatest part; those that are left are but like the poor remains of an olive tree when it has been carefully shaken by the owner; if there be two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough (out of the reach of those that shook it), that is all. Such is the remnant according to the election of grace, very few in comparison with the multitudes that walk on in the broad way. 2. They shall be a sanctified remnant, Isa 17:7, Isa 17:8. These few that are preserved are such as, in the prospect of the judgment approaching, had repented of their sins and reformed their lives, and therefore were snatched thus as brands out of the burning, or such as having escaped, and becoming refugees in strange countries, were awak…

إِنَّهُ هكَذَا يَكُونُ فِي وَسَطِ الأَرْضِ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ كَنُفَاضَةِ زَيْتُونَةٍ، كَالْخُصَاصَةِ إِذِ انْتَهَى الْقِطَافُ.
وَيُبَدِّدُكُمُ الرَّبُّ فِي الشُّعُوبِ، فَتَبْقَوْنَ عَدَدًا قَلِيلاً بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي يَسُوقُكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَيْهَا.
إِنْ أَتَاكَ سَارِقُونَ أَوْ لُصُوصُ لَيْل. كَيْفَ هَلِكْتَ! أَفَلاَ يَسْرِقُونَ حَاجَتَهُمْ؟ إِنْ أَتَاكَ قَاطِفُونَ أَفَلاَ يُبْقُونَ خُصَاصَةً؟
وَإِشَعْيَاءُ يَصْرُخُ مِنْ جِهَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ:«وَإِنْ كَانَ عَدَدُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَرَمْلِ الْبَحْرِ، فَالْبَقِيَّةُ سَتَخْلُصُ.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتُ الآنَ نَظِيرَكُمْ؟ أَلَيْسَ خُصَاصَةُ أَفْرَايِمَ خَيْرًا مِنْ قَِطَافِ أَبِيعَزَرَ؟
وَقَدْ أَبْقَيْتُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ سَبْعَةَ آلاَفٍ، كُلَّ الرُّكَبِ الَّتِي لَمْ تَجْثُ لِلْبَعْلِ وَكُلَّ فَمٍ لَمْ يُقَبِّلْهُ».
لَوْلاَ أَنَّ رَبَّ الْجُنُودِ أَبْقَى لَنَا بَقِيَّةً صَغِيرَةً، لَصِرْنَا مِثْلَ سَدُومَ وَشَابَهْنَا عَمُورَةَ.
لأَنَّهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ شَعْبُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ كَرَمْلِ الْبَحْرِ تَرْجعُ بَقِيَّةٌ مِنْهُ. قَدْ قُضِيَ بِفَنَاءٍ فَائِضٍ بِالْعَدْلِ.
وَهكَذَا سَيَخْلُصُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ:«سَيَخْرُجُ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ الْمُنْقِذُ وَيَرُدُّ الْفُجُورَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ.
وَيْلٌ لِي! لأَنِّي صِرْتُ كَجَنَى الصَّيْفِ، كَخُصَاصَةِ الْقِطَافِ، لاَ عُنْقُودَ لِلأَكْلِ وَلاَ بَاكُورَةَ تِينَةٍ اشْتَهَتْهَا نَفْسِي.
