Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.
But I'm not going to let everyone get wiped out. I'll make sure some of you survive when you're scattered across different countries, even when war comes for your people.
Even in the worst times, God keeps a few safe, there's always hope for a comeback.
