Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be carried forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth to you, and you shall see their way and their doings; and you shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought on it.

Instead, it comes from witnessing the profound wickedness of the remnant that escapes Jerusalem. Seeing their sinful 'way and doings' will prove to the exiles that God's severe judgment on the city was entirely just and necessary, silencing their doubts and complaints.
