A Hand of Restoration, Not Ruin
While God's hand can bring judgment, commentators agree that in this verse, "I will turn my hand upon you" is a promise of restoration and help. God is turning His attention to His people not to destroy them, but to save and purify a faithful remnant. As John Calvin notes, this is a comfort meant to assure believers that the Church will be preserved even through severe trials.
