📚 Historical Context
This verse comes from Isaiah's prophecy of comfort to the Jewish people during their exile in Babylon, around 586-538 BC. The Israelites felt abandoned, defeated, and spiritually depleted after losing their homeland, temple, and national identity. Isaiah was reassuring them that God had not forgotten them and would restore their strength for the journey ahead.
