Exegesis
The closing relative clause ʾăšer-bəḵā {אֲשֶׁר־בְּךָ֖ | ʾăšer-bəḵā} ‘which in You’ provides the theological ground: the passive yəruḥam {יְרֻחַ֥ם | yəruḥam} ‘he will be shown compassion’ presents mercy as something received rather than earned, and yāṯôm {יָתֽוֹם | yāṯôm} ‘orphan’ names the helpless beneficiary, making divine compassion the true basis for Israel’s return.

Assyria will not save us; we will not ride on horses; and we will no longer say, “Our gods,” to the work of our hands, for in You the fatherless finds mercy.
