A Promise of Deliverance
Commentators agree this verse is a direct promise to Judah of deliverance from the invading Assyrian army. The description of a 'fierce people' with a 'deep' and 'strange' language refers to the Assyrians, whose foreign tongue made them seem even more terrifying and alien. God promises that this specific, intimidating threat will be completely removed from sight.
