But after they had rest, they did evil again before you; therefore you left them in the hands of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them; yet when they returned, and cried to you, you heard from heaven; and many times you delivered them according to your mercies, and testified against them, that you might bring them again to your law. Yet they were arrogant, and didn’t listen to your commandments, but sinned against your ordinances (which if a man does, he shall live in them), turned their backs, stiffened their neck, and would not hear. Yet many years you put up with them, and testified against them by your Spirit through your prophets. Yet they would not listen. Therefore you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands. “Nevertheless in your manifold mercies you didn’t make a full end of them, nor forsake them; for you are a gracious and merciful God.

However you are just in all that has come on us; for you have dealt truly, but we have done wickedly. Also our kings, our princes, our priests, and our fathers have not kept your law, nor listened to your commandments and your testimonies with which you testified against them. For they have not served you in their kingdom, and in your great goodness that you gave them, and in the large and rich land which you gave before them. They didn’t turn from their wicked works. “Behold, we are servants today, and as for the land that you gave to our fathers to eat its fruit and its good, behold, we are servants in it. It yields much increase to the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins. Also they have power over our bodies and over our livestock, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.

The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance.…
And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance. "The remnant" here is not the remnant left of Judah after the deportation of two hundred thousand souls by Sennacherib (as in 2Ki_19:4) but the remnant that is left of the whole people of Israel the two tribes as distinct from the ten. The ten tribes were forsaken when the Assyrians took and destroyed Samaria; (2Ki_17:18, 2Ki_17:23) the two remained. Now the two also would be forsaken, and the last remnant of God"s inheritance cast out. And deliver them into the hand of their enemies. Not the Chaldeans only, who were not yet "their enemies," but their persistent and inveterate enemies, the Syrians, Moabites, Ammonites, (see 2Ki_24:2) and Edomites (Eze_25:12; Joe_3:19) who all joined with Nebuchadnezzar at the last, and (as Ewald says, "History of Israel," vol. 4. p, 270) "indulged their ancient hatred by taking a very active part in the final war." And they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies. (comp. Jer_41:2-10 Jer_48:27; Oba_1:10-14; Zep_2:8, etc.) The years which immediately followed the Captivity were years of terrible suffering to the remnant whom Nebuchadnezzar left in the land. (2Ki_25:12) Every petty power in the neighborhood felt itself at liberty to make incursions with Judaea at its pleasure, to plunder and ravage, and drive off cap-tires, or massacre them in cold blood, or commit, any other atrocity. Some critics regard the description of Isaiah in Isa_42:22-24 as prophetic of these sufferings.

21:14-15 the remnant: Those not killed in God’s impending judgment would be at the mercy of their captors. This prophecy was fulfilled when thousands of Judeans were taken into captivity in the Babylonian invasion during the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BC (25:8-21; 2 Chr 36:20; Jer 39:9; 52:15).
