Yet, behold, there will be left a remnant in it that will be carried out, both sons and daughters. Behold, they will come out to you, and you will see their way and their doings. Then you will be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought on it.

Verse 22. Left. Pastors will always remain to instruct God’s children. Worthington.—Doings. Their words ( Calmet.) and conduct even in captivity, will evince that they have not been punished unjustly. Saint Jerome—From them you may judge what sort of men their fathers were; or, as they have been spared for their virtue, you may conclude that the rest would not have perished, if they had been innocent. Bible.
