“And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the Lord hath spoken it.”
The promise that the LORD will sell them into the hands of the Sabeans, a people far away, indicates that judgment will remove the oppressor nations far from their own land, mirroring the displacement inflicted on Judah. The specific reference to Sabeans indicates remote exile. This verse continues the promise of retaliation through displacement.
