A Promise of Restoration
This verse offers a two-part promise for God's people. First, her children will hurry back. Scholars note the Hebrew for "children" is very similar to "builders," suggesting God will send people to actively restore His community. Second, the "destroyers" and those who laid her waste will be driven out. This signifies both positive growth and the removal of hostile forces.
