God's Inescapable Justice
Commentators describe this verse as a form of "bitter sarcasm." Since Israel refused to voluntarily give the land its commanded Sabbath rests, God would enforce that rest through their exile and the land's desolation. Scholars connect this directly to the 70-year Babylonian captivity, suggesting it corresponded to 70 neglected sabbatical years (2 Chron. 36:21). This reveals that God's commands have inescapable consequences.
