Yirmeyah 46:28

28 Fear thou not, O Ya’akov Avdi, saith Hashem; for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of kol HaGoyim where I have scattered thee; but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee with mishpat (justice); yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.

Yirmeyah 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).

26 And I will deliver them into the yad of those that seek their nefesh, and into the yad of Nevuchadretzar Melech Bavel, and into the yad of his avadim; and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the yemei kedem (days of old), saith Hashem.

27 But fear not thou, O Avdi Ya’akov, and be not dismayed, O Yisroel; for, hineni, I will save thee from afar off, and thy zera from the land of their captivity; and Ya’akov shall return, and be in rest and securely at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
