📚 Historical Context
Isaiah was prophesying about the coming judgment on Judah, likely referring to the Assyrian invasion around 722-701 BC. This verse is part of a larger prophecy describing how the land would become desolate and sparsely populated. What was once a prosperous agricultural society would be reduced to subsistence living with minimal livestock.
