Judah is comforted with promise of deliverance from Assyria Though your people, O Israel, be like the sand of the sea This phrase draws from the Abrahamic covenant in Genesis, where God promised Abraham that his descendants would be as numerous as the sand on the seashore. The Hebrew word for "sand" (חול, chol) symbolizes vastness and innumerability. Historically, this reflects the once-great population and prosperity of Israel. However, it also serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness to His promises, even when the people stray. The imagery of sand, while abundant, also suggests fragility and impermanence, setting the stage for the coming judgment. only a remnant will return Destruction has been decreed overflowing with righteousness The consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.--Literally, a finished (or final) work, decisive, overflowing with righteousness. A like phrase meets us again in Isaiah 28:22; Daniel 9:27. The "finished work" is that of God's judgment, and it "overflows with righteousness" at once punitive and corrective. Verses 22, 23. - These verses are exegetical of the term "remnant," and bring out its full force. The promise had been made to Abraham that his seed should be "like the sand of the sea for multitude" (Genesis 22:17). This promise had been fulfilled (1 Kings 4:20); but now the sins of the people would produce a reversal of it. It would be a remnant, and only a remnant, of the nation that would escape. Judah would have to make a fresh start as from a new beginning (see Ezra 2:64). Verse 22. - The consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness; rather, the consummation (Daniel 9:27) determined on is one that overflows with righteousness (comp. Isaiah 28:22). The prophet means that God is about to visit the land in such a spirit of severe justice that it cannot be expected that more than a remnant will survive the awful visitation.Parallel Commentaries ...
