“Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!”
The promise that even if they bring up their children, the LORD will bereave them until none are left indicates that even the children who survive will be taken away, that Israel will not be permitted to establish a secure future generation. The bereavement of children parallels the deaths inflicted through Assyrian conquest, suggesting historical fulfillment through military defeat. This verse promises that judgment will strike at the future itself, preventing Israel from establishing continuity across generations.
