Past Grace, Future Hope
Commentators explain that this verse encourages the exiles by reminding them of God's past faithfulness. Just as God miraculously saved Israel from the 'sword' of the Egyptians and sustained them in the wilderness, He promises to do so again for those 'left of the sword' in Babylon. This historical act of deliverance serves as a powerful guarantee of their future restoration and rest.
