“What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the Lord hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.”
What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation—the rhetorical question introducing the final thought of chapter 14, suggesting that messengers from the nations may ask about Israel's response to the judgment prophecies. The openness of the question invites consideration of the significance of the prophecies. This verse concludes the series of judgment prophecies with a reflection on their meaning.
