God's Mercy Preserves a Remnant
Commentators unanimously agree that this verse highlights God's profound mercy. While Israel's sin was so great that it deserved complete destruction like Sodom and Gomorrah, God, in His faithfulness, always preserves a 'seed' or a remnant. This small group, saved by grace alone, stands as powerful proof of God's unfailing mercy amidst judgment.
