“For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent.”
For at that time I will change the speech of the peoples to a pure speech, that all of them may call upon the name of the LORD and serve him with one accord—the stunning reversal follows judgment: the surviving remnant experiences linguistic and religious transformation. The 'pure speech' and unified calling upon the LORD suggest a new humanity restored to covenant relationship. Judgment produces not annihilation but purification and renewal.
