Jeremiah 46:28

28 Don't be afraid you, O Ya`akov my servant, says the LORD; for I am with you: for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you; but I will not make a full end of you, but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.

Jeremiah 46:28 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 46:28

Fear thou not, O Jacob, my servant, saith the Lord, for I [am]
with thee
Though afar off, in foreign lands, and in captivity: this exhortation is repeated, to strengthen their consolation, and them, against their fears of being cast off by the Lord: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven
thee;
the Babylonians and Chaldeans are no more: but I will not make a full end of thee;
the Jews to this day remain a people, and distinct from others, though scattered about in the world: but correct thee in measure;
with judgment, and in mercy: yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished;
(See Gill on Jeremiah 30:11).
