“How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the Lord hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.”
The promise that 'a woman encircles a man' is enigmatic but traditionally interpreted as referring to a reversal of vulnerability. Some interpret this as the church surrounding Christ or as Israel returning from exile. The newness of the promise emphasizes that restoration will be unprecedented.
