Scholars explain that this verse marks a dramatic shift from the judgment on the northern kingdom of Israel. While Israel's worldly "crown of pride" (v. 1) would be trampled, God promised to preserve a "residue" or remnant—the southern kingdom of Judah. This shows that even in times of widespread judgment, God always preserves a faithful people for Himself.
