“For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.”
For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land—the affirmation that Israel's judgment is temporary and that God's compassion and election continue even after judgment. The statement that God 'will yet choose Israel' suggests that despite seeming rejection through judgment, the covenant relationship remains permanent. This verse marks the transition from judgment against Babylon to promise of restoration for Israel.
