The remnant of archers, the mighty men of Kedar, will be diminished to a small number, fulfilling the judgment against the Arabian peoples who have resisted God's purposes. This verse emphasizes that even military prowess and strength will be unable to withstand God's judgment, and the reduction of the forces indicates that the judgment will leave only a shadow of former strength. The contrast between initial expectations of resistance and the actual diminishment emphasizes that human military capability is subordinate to divine power. The verse concludes the prophecy against Kedar by indicating that judgment will be executed despite the military preparedness of the people, demonstrating again that opposition to God's purposes is ultimately futile.
