God responds directly to the prophet's heartfelt prayer, offering a powerful promise of future redemption. Commentators agree that this is a clear confirmation from God that He has heard the cries of His people and will act on their behalf. The promise guarantees a future salvation that will mirror the magnitude of the Exodus from Egypt. Just as the Israelites once suffered under the weight of slavery before God rescued them with great power and clear wonders, He promises to perform open miracles once again in the future.
The divine message is delivered as a direct address to the current generation, speaking to them as if they themselves had physically left Egypt. This approach carries a deep lesson: the historic rescue of their ancestors is viewed as a personal experience that belongs entirely to the present generation [רד״ק, אבן עזרא]. Furthermore, God continues this personal communication by referring to the entire nation of Israel collectively as a single individual. Treating the whole population as one unified body serves as a direct continuation of His earlier address to the people, assuring them together that they will witness His promised wonders [אבן עזרא, אברבנאל].
