Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
Thus says the Lord: The people who survived the sword found favor in the wilderness [place of exile]–when Israel sought to find rest.
Thus saith Jehovah, The people that were left of the sword found favor in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
The LORD proclaims: The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness. As Israel searched for a place of rest,
Thus says the Lord: "The people who had remained after the sword, found grace in the desert. Israel will go to his rest."
Thus saith the Lord: The people that were left and escaped from the sword found grace in the desert: Israel shall go to his rest.
