‏ Jeremiah 30:17

Outcast--as a wife put away by her husband (Is 62:4, contrasted with Jr 30:12).

Zion--alluding to its Hebrew meaning, "dryness"; "sought after" by none, as would be the case with an arid region (Is 62:12). The extremity of the people, so far from being an obstacle to, will be the chosen opportunity of, God's grace.
