Jeremiah 4:28

"For the LORD says, “The whole land will be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end."

Key Reflection

This verse conveys God's judgment on the land, promising desolation as punishment for sin. Yet, it also hints at divine mercy, suggesting that this is not a permanent state but a temporary measure to bring about repentance and restoration.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

For ... -Because of this doom upon Judah. I have purposed it -The Septuagint arrangement restores the parallelism: For I have spoken, and will not repent, I have purposed, and will not turn back from it.
