Verse 6
The Lord’s conclusion to the situation was twofold. First, He would so deliver His people that there would be no question in their minds that He was the only true God (cf. Ezekiel 36:21-32). Second, Yahweh would prove that He is who He claimed to be, by fulfilling what He had predicted He would do. "In that day" anticipates a time, yet future, in which God would act decisively for His people to vindicate His name.
A hymn of praise ends this promise of redemption (cf. Isaiah 42:10-12; Isaiah 44:23; Isaiah 49:13; Isaiah 54).
"The prophet sees in spirit, how the tidings of the redemption, to which the fall of Babylon, which is equivalent to the dismission of the prisoners, gives the finishing stroke, are carried over the mountains of Judah to Jerusalem." [Note: Delitzsch, 2:298-99.]
