Verses 31-32
31, 32. The remnant Literally, the escaped: the context seems to imply these were few.
House of Judah In this invasion of Judah large numbers of the inhabitants perished. Though not mentioned, the pestilence had possibly begun its ravages. The remaining survivors are now to be undisturbed, to flourish and prosper, or, in the words of the prophet, to take root downward, and bear fruit upward. This with the prophet is a settled fact, wrapped in the remnant is the Messianic kernel. He repeats it with emphasis to assure Hezekiah.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts His intense interest in behalf of Judah, will accomplish this. See Isaiah 9:7.
