Hope Amidst Judgment
Most commentators see this verse as a profound promise. In the midst of announcing devastating judgment, God injects what Charles Spurgeon calls a "gentle note of pity." This shows that His discipline is corrective, not completely destructive. He always preserves a remnant, offering hope and a chance for repentance because His mercy endures even in wrath.
