Romans 9:29

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.

And {G2532} as {G2531} Esaias {G2268} said before {G4280}, Except {G1508} the Lord {G2962} of Sabaoth {G4519} had left {G1459} us {G2254} a seed {G4690}, we had been {G302}{G1096} as {G5613} Sodoma {G4670}, and {G2532} been made like {G302}{G3666} unto {G5613} Gomorrha {G1116}.

Also, as Yesha‘yahu said earlier,

“If Adonai-Tzva’ot had not left us a seed,
we would have become like S’dom,
we would have resembled ‘Amora.”

It is just as Isaiah foretold: “Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have resembled Gomorrah.”

And, as Isaiah hath said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, and had been made like unto Gomorrah.
