Notes
The people of Judah would again enjoy covenant blessings rather than curses (see Leviticus 26:4).
This prophecy of salvation gave promises of hope. It helped Israel look away from their present suffering.
Instead, it pointed them toward the glorious future that God had prepared for his people.
After warning Judah of judgment due to their stubbornness and reliance on Egypt (Isaiah 30:1–17), God promised to show compassion to his people and defeat their enemies.
