“The people who survived the sword

Found grace in the wilderness—

Israel, when it went to find its rest.”

“The people who survived the sword

Found grace in the wilderness—

Israel, when it went to find its rest.”

“The people who survived the sword

Found grace in the wilderness [of exile]—

Israel (the Northern Kingdom), when it went to find its rest.”

“The people who survived the sword

found favor in the wilderness

when Israel went to find rest.”

2The Lord says,

“Some of my people will live through

everything their enemies do to them.

They will find help in the desert.

I will come to give peace and rest to Israel.”
