1. He shows unto Zion the terribleness of God's judgment.
12. He exhorts to repentance;

You will have plenty to eat
This phrase speaks to the abundant provision of God. In the Hebrew, the word for "plenty" is "אָכַל" (akal), which means to eat or consume. This promise of abundance is a reversal of the famine and locust devastation described earlier in the book. Historically, Israel often faced agricultural challenges, and God's promise here is a reassurance of His ability to provide for His people beyond natural circumstances. It reflects God's covenant faithfulness and His desire to bless His people materially and spiritually.

and be satisfied
The Hebrew word "שָׂבַע" (saba) means to be sated or filled. This satisfaction is not just physical but also spiritual, indicating a deeper contentment that comes from God's provision. In a broader biblical context, true satisfaction is found in God alone, as echoed in Psalm 107:9, "For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things." This satisfaction is a foretaste of the ultimate fulfillment found in Christ.

and you will praise the name of the LORD your God
The act of praising God is a response to His goodness and provision. The "name of the LORD" signifies His character and reputation. In Hebrew culture, a name was more than a label; it represented the essence of a person. Thus, praising God's name is acknowledging His holiness, power, and faithfulness. This phrase encourages believers to respond to God's blessings with worship and gratitude, recognizing Him as the source of all good things.

who has worked wonders for you
The Hebrew word for "wonders" is "פֶּלֶא" (pele), which refers to miraculous deeds or extraordinary acts. This highlights God's supernatural intervention in the lives of His people. Throughout the Bible, God is depicted as a wonder-working God, from the parting of the Red Sea to the resurrection of Jesus. These wonders are meant to inspire faith and trust in God's power and sovereignty.

My people will never again be put to shame
The promise of no longer being put to shame is significant in the context of Israel's history. Shame in the ancient Near East was a profound social and spiritual disgrace. The Hebrew word "בּוּשׁ" (bosh) means to be ashamed or confounded. God's assurance here is one of restoration and honor. It points to a future hope where God's people are vindicated and their relationship with Him is fully restored. This promise finds its ultimate fulfillment in the New Testament, where believers are clothed in the righteousness of Christ, never to be put to shame before God.
