“Thus saith the Lord, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.”
The promise that Israel 'found grace in the wilderness' recalls the exodus and wilderness traditions. Even in exile (the new wilderness), God's grace remains operative. The metaphor of survival in a harsh landscape emphasizes divine sustenance independent of human circumstance.
