An End to the 'Warfare'
Commentators explain that the term 'warfare' refers to a period of intense trial, like a soldier's hard enlistment. The primary context is the Babylonian exile, a time of national suffering for Israel's sins. The comforting message is that this difficult season has reached its divinely appointed end, and God is declaring the time of chastisement complete.
