God's Specialty is Restoration
The terms 'lame' and 'cast far off' describe a people near total ruin. Commentators emphasize that God's promise is to miraculously restore the broken, weak, and seemingly dead. John Calvin describes this as a resurrection-like act. This serves as a powerful reminder that God's specialty is bringing strength from weakness and life from death, accomplished entirely by His sovereign power, as highlighted by His repeated use of 'I will'.
