God Gathers the Broken

Commentators explain that the "lame" and "driven away" refer to people in a state of weakness, sin, and distress. This imagery describes those who are spiritually weary, morally "halting" between God and idols, or personally struggling with fear and doubt. The promise is that God actively seeks out and assembles not the strong, but the broken and outcast, to be His people.
