Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
16:59-63 Jerusalem’s sins were serious and had to be judged, but judgment was not God’s last word on Jerusalem. She had been comprehensively breaking God’s covenant and deserved the consequence of death, but God would remember the covenant he had made with her in the beginning. God’s purposes for his people cannot be derailed even by their sin, for his covenant commitment is everlasting (Ps 136). God’s forgiveness of her sins would finally bring Jerusalem to repentance.
