“The redeemed remnant will be grateful for forgiveness. Because Israel will turn from sin to repentance, the Lord will turn from punishing her to comforting her. The Lord God Jehovah is not only a source of protecting strength to the once-beleaguered Israel, but He is also the source of her salvation in His role as the Redeeming One, or Savior” (Brewster, Isaiah Plain and Simple, 120).
