Contextual Overview
19 I can't stand the pain! My heart pounds, as I twist and turn in agony. I hear the signal trumpet and the battle cry of the enemy, and I cannot be silent. 20 I see the enemy defeating us time after time, leaving everything in ruins. Even my own home is destroyed in a moment. 21 How long will I see enemy flags and hear their trumpets? 22 I heard the Lord say, "My people ignore me. They are foolish children who do not understand that they will be punished. All they know is how to sin." 23 After this, I looked around. The earth was barren, with no form of life. The sun, moon, and stars had disappeared. 24 The mountains were shaking; 25 no people could be seen, and all the birds had flown away. 26 Farmland had become a desert, and towns were in ruins. The Lord 's fierce anger had done all of this. 27The Lord said: I have made my decision, and I won't change my mind. This land will be destroyed, although not completely. The sky will turn dark, and the earth will mourn. 29 Enemy cavalry and archers shout their battle cry. People run for their lives and try to find safety among trees and rocks. Every town is empty.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For thus hath the Lord said,.... What follows is an explanation and confirmation of the above vision the prophet had:
the whole land shall be desolate; as he had seen; it should not be manured, ploughed, and sown, or bring forth fruit; and should be without inhabitants, at least have very few:
yet I will not make a full end; there should be some inhabitants, who, with those that should hereafter return from captivity, would repeople it, rebuild the temple, and restore it to its pristine form and order, both as to things natural, civil, and ecclesiastical; but though a full end of them, as a church and people, was not to be made now by the Chaldeans, yet it would be; as it has been done by the Romans, in the times of Vespasian and Hadrian.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Desolate - a waste.
One of the most striking points of prophecy is, that however severe. may be the judgment pronounced against Judah, there is always the reservation, that the ruin shall not be complete Jeremiah 3:14.
