“I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the Lord.”
But I will leave in your midst a people humble and lowly. They shall seek refuge in the name of the LORD, those of Israel who are left—the remnant is characterized by humility, lowliness, and refuge-seeking in God's name. The surviving community will lack the pride and arrogance that characterized pre-judgment Judah. Humility becomes the mark of the restored covenant people.
