“Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.”
The promise of restoration—'Your children come hastening; your destroyers and those who laid you waste go away from you'—affirms both the return of exiles and the departure of oppressors. The image of children hastening suggests joyful, rapid movement toward restoration. The emphasis that destroyers will depart indicates that oppression will end. This verse combines positive (children coming) and negative (enemies leaving) aspects of restoration.
