THE MESSAGE
"Even then, as bad as it will be"— God 's Decree!—"it will not be the end of the world for you. And when people ask, ‘Why did our God do all this to us?' you must say to them, ‘It's tit for tat. Just as you left me and served foreign gods in your own country, so now you must serve foreigners in their own country.'
New American Standard Bible (1995)
"Yet even in those days," declares the LORD, "I will not make you a complete destruction.

Contextual Overview

10 "Go along and cut down Judah's vineyards, but do not completely destroy them. Cut off all her people as if they were branches, because they do not belong to the Lord . 11 The families of Israel and Judah have been completely unfaithful to me," says the Lord . 12 Those people have lied about the Lord and said, "He will not do anything to us! Nothing bad will happen to us! We will never see war or hunger! 13 The prophets are like an empty wind; the word of God is not in them. Let the bad things they say happen to them." 14 So this is what the Lord God All-Powerful says: "The people said I would not punish them. So, the words I give you will be like fire, and these people will be like wood that it burns up. 15 Listen, family of Israel," says the Lord , "I will soon bring a nation from far away to attack you. It is an old nation that has lasted a long time. The people there speak a language you do not know; you cannot understand what they say. 16 Their arrows bring death. All their people are strong warriors. 17 They will eat your crops and your food. They will eat your sons and daughters. They will eat your flocks and herds. They will eat your grapes and figs. They will destroy with their swords the strong, walled cities you trust. 18 "Yet even then," says the Lord , "I will not destroy you completely. 19 When the people of Judah ask, ‘Why has the Lord our God done all these terrible things to us?' then give them this answer: ‘You have left the Lord and served foreign idols in your own land. So now you will serve foreigners in a land that does not belong to you.'

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Nevertheless, in those days,.... When these things should be done by the king of Babylon and his army:

saith the Lord, I will not make a full end with you: this was to be done at another time, not now; :-,

:-, though some think that this is a threatening of more and greater calamities; that this would not be all he would do to them; he had not yet done; he had other evils and calamities, to bring upon them, particularly a long captivity.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 5:18. I will not make a full end — There are more evils in store for you. You shall not only be spoiled, and all your property destroyed, but ye shall be carried into captivity; and ye shall serve strangers in a land that is not yours, Jeremiah 5:19.
