Isaiah 10:21

Israel
Israel and the nationsRepentance

19 The remaining trees of its forests will be so few that a child could count them.

20 On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer depend on him who struck them, but they will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.

A remnant will return —a remnant of Jacob— to the Mighty God.

22 Though your people, O Israel, be like the sand of the sea, only a remnant will return. Destruction has been decreed, overflowing with righteousness.

23 For the Lord GOD of Hosts will carry out the destruction decreed upon the whole land.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
