Theophylact of Ohrid, on Rom 9:28

“For he shall finish his word, and cut it short in justice; because a short word shall the Lord make upon the earth.”

“Now he shows how the remnant will be saved, and says that there is no need to labor, to go far, and to exhaust oneself with works of the law. God, he says, who brings to completion and accomplishes the word of faith in a short way throughout all the earth, will do this "in righteousness," that is, in order to justify those who have accepted it. "If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" (Rom. 10:9). This is the shortened word, that is, the brief sayings of faith.”
