God is aware of the stubborn nature of His people, describing them as 'stiff-necked,' a term often used in the Bible to denote resistance to divine guidance. Despite this, there is a promise of hope and redemption. When the people find themselves in exile, away from their homeland and in a place of hardship, they will have the chance to reflect on their actions and their relationship with God. This period of exile is not just a punishment but also an opportunity for self-awareness and spiritual renewal. The verse suggests that through adversity, there is a chance for the people to 'come to themselves,' meaning they will realize their errors and seek to return to God. It emphasizes the idea that even in the darkest times, there is potential for growth and a return to faith. This message is universal, reminding believers that no matter how far they stray, there is always a path back to God, often found through introspection and repentance during challenging times.
For I know that they will not listen to me, because they are a stiff-necked people. But in the land of their exile they will come to themselves
Baruch 2:30
