17  That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the ^bsand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

  27  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:

  22  Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
