Yahweh shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

God's Unchanging Choice
Commentators like John Calvin explain that God will "choose Jerusalem again" not because He is making a new choice, but because He is publicly reaffirming His original, eternal, and unchanging covenant. Despite Israel's exile and apparent rejection, God demonstrates His faithfulness by restoring them as His treasured "portion." This assures believers that God's foundational promises are secure and His election is steadfast.
