“..Judah was taken into exile in Babylon because of the breach of faith.” This is the introduction to the returning exiles in 9:1. Babylon had not defeated Judah; God had turned the kingdom over to exile because of their faithlessness. That is the explanation of how God deals with the people of his covenant. But God will always seek to bring his people back to where they belong. It may take a generation or two, but God will work toward that end.
It took me about 16 minutes to read this passage.
