God Champions the Outcast
Commentators highlight a profound reason for God's promise to heal: "because they have called thee an outcast." God's compassion is stirred by Zion's rejection and misery. As scholars like John Calvin and Charles Ellicott note, the very contempt shown by others becomes the occasion for God's redemptive intervention. His grace is extended precisely when a person or people are deemed worthless and forgotten by the world.
