For I am with you
This phrase is a profound assurance of God's presence. In Hebrew, the word for "with" is "עִמָּךְ" (immak), which conveys a sense of accompaniment and support. Historically, God's presence with His people has been a central theme throughout the Bible, from His guidance of the Israelites in the wilderness to the promise of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament. This assurance is meant to inspire confidence and courage, reminding believers that they are never alone in their struggles.

to save you
The Hebrew root for "save" is "יָשַׁע" (yasha), which means to deliver or rescue. This word is often used in the context of God's deliverance of Israel from their enemies. In the broader biblical narrative, it points to the ultimate salvation through Jesus Christ. The promise of salvation is both immediate, in the context of deliverance from Babylonian captivity, and eternal, pointing to the salvation of souls.

declares the LORD
The phrase "declares the LORD" is a prophetic formula that underscores the authority and certainty of the message. The Hebrew word for "declares" is "נְאֻם" (ne'um), which is often used in prophetic literature to introduce a divine pronouncement. This emphasizes that the promise is not just a hopeful wish but a guaranteed outcome because it comes from the sovereign God.

I will completely destroy all the nations
The phrase speaks to God's sovereignty over all nations. The Hebrew word for "destroy" is "כָּלָה" (kalah), which means to bring to an end or to finish. This reflects God's justice and His control over history. The nations that oppressed Israel would face judgment, highlighting the biblical principle that God will ultimately right all wrongs.

among which I have scattered you
This phrase acknowledges the dispersion of the Israelites due to their disobedience. The Hebrew root "פָּזַר" (pazar) means to scatter or disperse. Historically, this refers to the Babylonian exile, a consequence of Israel's failure to uphold the covenant. Yet, even in judgment, there is hope, as God promises to gather His people again.

but I will not completely destroy you
Here, the mercy of God is evident. While He will judge the nations, He promises not to utterly destroy Israel. The Hebrew word "כָּלָה" (kalah) is used again, but with a negation, indicating restraint in judgment. This reflects God's covenant faithfulness and His commitment to preserving a remnant of His people.

I will discipline you
The Hebrew word for "discipline" is "יָסַר" (yasar), which means to instruct or correct. This is not punitive but corrective, aimed at restoring the relationship between God and His people. Discipline is a sign of God's love, as He seeks to guide His people back to righteousness.

but only with justice
The word "justice" in Hebrew is "מִשְׁפָּט" (mishpat), which means judgment or justice. God's discipline is fair and measured, reflecting His righteous character. This assures believers that God's actions are always just and for the ultimate good of His people.

I will not leave you unpunished
The phrase underscores the seriousness of sin and the necessity of correction. The Hebrew root "נָקָה" (naqah) means to leave unpunished or to acquit. God’s justice requires that sin be addressed, but His discipline is always tempered with mercy, aiming for the restoration and redemption of His people.

(11) Though I make a full end of all nations.--On the phrase, see Notes on Jeremiah 4:27; Jeremiah 5:10; Jeremiah 5:18. It is eminently characteristic of the prophets of Jeremiah's time (Ezekiel 11:13; Ezekiel 20:17; Nahum 1:8-9). Here the thought, implied elsewhere, and reproduced in Jeremiah 46:28, is expressed more fully than before, that while the destruction of the national life of the heathen nations on whom judgment was to fall should be complete and irreversible, so that Moab, Ammon, Edom, should no more have a place in the history of the world, the punishment of Israel should be remedial as well as retributive, working out, in due time, a complete restitution. In "correcting in measure" we trace an echo of Psalm 6:1 (see Note on Jeremiah 10:24). That thought sustains the prophet in his contemplation of the captivity and apparent ruin of his people. To be left "altogether unpunished" would be, as in the "let him alone "of Hosea 4:17, the most terrible of all punishments. . . . Verse 11. - In measure; rather, according to what is just; i.e. not capriciously, to satisfy a feeling of revenge such as the untaught mind is apt to ascribe to God (see on Jeremiah 10:24). And will not, etc.; rather, for I cannot.
