They will console you when you see their way and their deeds, and you will know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in Jerusalem, declares the Lord God. The remnant's presence and character serve to justify God's judgment, demonstrating that even in destruction, God has acted with purpose and righteousness. The survivors become living testimony to God's selective judgment and continuing care for those faithful within the unfaithful people. This verse transforms the concept of remnant from mere escape into a sign of God's redemptive purpose operative even within judgment.
