For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.
Israel and Judah haven't been abandoned by their God, the LORD who commands heaven's armies. Yeah, their country was absolutely filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel, but he didn't give up on them.
Even when you mess up big time, God doesn't abandon you.

This verse offers hope to the exiled people, affirming that God has not abandoned Israel or Judah despite their sins, emphasizing His covenant loyalty amid the broader prophecy of Babylon's downfall. It reflects the historical tension between God's judgment on His people's unfaithfulness and His enduring promise to restore them.
