Despite a prophecy of overwhelming destruction that will leave only a 'tenth,' God promises not to completely annihilate His people. Commentators like Spurgeon emphasize the phrase 'but yet' as a crucial sign of God's grace. This verse teaches that even in the most severe divine judgment, God always preserves a faithful remnant through whom His promises will continue.
