Jeremiah 46:28

28 So don't be afraid, my servant Jacob, declares the LORD. I'm with you; I will put an end to all the nations where I have scattered you. But I won't put an end to you. I won't let you avoid punishment; I will discipline you as you deserve.

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).
