"For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth."
— Romans 9:28, King James Version with Apocrypha
“For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.”
“for the Lord will execute his word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short. ”
“for He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the LORD will make a short work upon the earth."”
“for the Lord will execute his sentence on the earth completely and quickly.””
“For he shall finish his word and cut it short in justice: because a short word shall the Lord make upon the earth.”
“For the Lord will give effect to his word on the earth, putting an end to it and cutting it short.”
As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
