“But the Lord will be a refuge for his people, a stronghold for the people of Israel” (3:16). God reassured His people that even though they were not part of a conquering earthly empire like Assyria, Babylon, or Egypt, they belonged to Him. He saw the plight of their children sold into slavery (3:1-3), and He promised to restore them. They could rely on His justice. Yet their own hearts had to turn to Him, along with “multitudes in the valley of decision” (3:14).

“In that day ... a fountain will flow out of the Lord’s house” (3:18). God is still the refuge of His people. God’s life-giving fountain flows from Christ, the hope of Israel and the whole world.
