Jeremiah 30:11

Analysis & Commentary
God promises to save Israel though He makes 'a full end of all nations' where they were scattered. The election of Israel serves God's global purposes, but the nations themselves will pass away while Israel endures. Yet God will 'correct thee in measure' - discipline is medicinal, not vindictive. He won't leave them 'altogether unpunished' - grace doesn't eliminate consequences.
