At the end of this chapter, God gives a promise to the nations that have fought against Israel. God tells them if they turn to him, he will establish them like he established Israel. God is wanting to have those who lead his people astray to follow him. How unlike us. If someone led my child into trouble, the last thing that I would naturally want to do is to say, I want to see you saved like I want to save my children. Yet God loves even those who led His people into idolatry. So much for the God of the Old Testament being mean and spiteful.
