“Thus saith the Lord; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.”
Though they are full and many, they shall be cut down and pass away; though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more, promising deliverance to Judah from Assyrian oppression. This verse shifts address to Judah, offering reassurance that God's judgment on Nineveh means an end to Judah's suffering under Assyrian domination. The promise reflects the covenant mercies: judgment on the oppressor translates to relief for the oppressed people of God.
