Judgment as Exile and Desolation
Commentators agree that this verse describes a devastating judgment that goes beyond military defeat. It involves the forced removal of the population into exile, a policy used by empires like Assyria. This deportation would lead to a "great forsaking," leaving cities, homes, and the land itself desolate and abandoned.
