Greek text · Archambault 2:288

Ὁρᾶτε γὰρ ὡς πρὸς τὸν λαὸν νῦν λέγει, ἀνωτέρω εἰπών· Ὃν τρόπον εὑρεθήσεται ῥὰξ ἐν βότρυϊ, καὶ ἐροῦσι· Μὴ λυμανῇ αὐτόν, ὅτι εὐλογία ἐν αὐτῷ ἐστιν, οὕτω ποιήσω ἕνεκεν τοῦ δουλεύοντός μοι· τούτου ἔνεκεν οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσω πάντας· καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο ἐπιφέρει· Καὶ ἐξάξω τὸ ἐξ Ἰακὼβ καὶ ἐξ Ἰούδα. Δῆλον οὖν, εἰ ἐκείνοις οὕτως ὀργίζεται καὶ ὀλιγοστοὺς καταλείψειν ἀπειλεῖ, ἄλλους τινὰς ἐξάξειν ἐπαγγέλλεται οἳ κατοικήσουσιν ἐν τῷ ὄρει αὐτοῦ.

English · Claude translation

“For you see how he now speaks to the people, having said above: ‘As a grape will be found in a cluster, and they will say, Do not destroy it, for there is a blessing in it, so will I do for the sake of him who serves me; for his sake I will not destroy them all’; and after this he adds: ‘And I will bring forth the seed from Jacob and from Judah.’ It is clear, then, that if he is so angry with those and threatens to leave very few, he promises to bring forth certain others who will dwell on his mountain.
