God Vindicates the Humble
Commentators explain that this verse describes a great reversal of fortunes. The 'lofty city,' representing oppressive powers and human pride (like Babylon), will be brought so low that the very people it once oppressed—the 'poor and needy'—will trample its ruins. This demonstrates God's justice and His commitment to lifting up the humble.
