In those days, and in that time, says Yahweh, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I leave as a remnant.

A Prophecy of Christ's Pardon

Multiple commentators (Barnes, Ellicott, Calvin) agree that the phrase 'In those days' points beyond the return from Babylon to the future era of the Messiah. The promise of a pardon so complete that sin 'shall not be found' finds its ultimate fulfillment in the New Covenant established by Jesus Christ, where forgiveness is total and final.
