The 'Nevertheless' of Grace
Commentators emphasize that after a long list of Israel's sins and deserved judgments, this verse marks a dramatic turn. The word "Nevertheless" signals that God's mercy is not based on Israel's merit but on His own sovereign grace and faithfulness. His grace interrupts the cycle of sin and punishment, initiating restoration based on His character alone.
