A Promise of Divine Care
Most commentators see this verse as a message of hope. Amidst judgment on the proud and wealthy (“the fat ones”), God promises to care for His humble people, the “lambs.” As John Calvin explains, this is a comfort to the godly, assuring them that God will act as a faithful shepherd to His flock even when the wicked are removed. The downfall of the oppressor creates a space for the righteous to flourish.
