Isaiah 27:7 — KJV
Hath he smitten him? Has God smitten His own people as He smote those who waged war against them? Isaiah draws a contrast between God’s dealings with His own people and His dealings with their enemies. God’s people may suffer trial and tribulation, but they will not be utterly destroyed. God “smites” His people for their own good (see Heb. 12:5-11; Rev. 3:19), to remedy the defects in their character, not to destroy them.
