Verse Takeaways

Discipline, Not Destruction

Commentators note that God addresses His people with tenderness ("O my people") even as He allows the Assyrians to act as a "rod" of discipline. The coming affliction is real, but it is a corrective measure from a loving Father, not a destructive blow meant to annihilate His people. This distinction is key to understanding God's heart during times of trial.
