A Dramatic Turn to Grace
Commentators emphasize the opening word, "Yet." This signals a dramatic shift from the previous chapter's discussion of Israel's sin. Despite their transgressions, God interrupts the narrative of judgment with a message of grace. As one scholar notes, it's a gracious promise made in spite of their sin, demonstrating that God's mercy triumphs over human failure.
