And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
And in that day, the survivors of Israel and those who escape from Jacob's family will no longer depend on the one who struck them down. Instead, they will truly depend on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
God is promising that Israel's survivors will learn to trust in Him alone rather than relying on the very nations that hurt them.
📚 Historical Context
Isaiah spoke this during a time when Israel was forming alliances with foreign nations like Assyria for protection, but these same nations often turned against them. The prophet was warning that God would use Assyria to judge Israel, but afterward, the faithful remnant would learn to trust God completely rather than seeking help from unreliable human allies.
