The Hope of the Remnant
Commentators unanimously see this verse as a message of hope amidst judgment. The image of a few good grapes in a cluster preventing its total destruction illustrates God's promise to preserve a faithful remnant. Even when the nation as a whole was corrupt and facing consequences, God would not destroy everyone. He would spare His 'servants' for His own purposes.
