Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 4:27

Jeremiah 4:27. Yet will I not make a full end That is, say some commentators, neither shall the punishment suffice, nor my anger stop here: but it rather seems to be a word of comfort, signifying that they should not be utterly destroyed, but that, in the midst of judgment, God would remember mercy, and preserve a remnant; accordingly, in fact, after seventy years’ captivity, he brought a remnant back again into their own land. read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 4:5-31

The coming invasion (4:5-31)Jeremiah now pictures the terrible judgment that will fall on Judah if it does not repent. With the enemy army sweeping down upon Judah from the north, a trumpeter sounds the alarm and the people of Judah flee to their walled cities for safety (5-6).

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 4:27

"For thus saith Jehovah, The whole land shall be a desolation; yet will I not make a full end. For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I have not repented, neither will I turn back from it. Every city fleeth for the noise of the horsemen and the bowmen; they go into the thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city is forsaken, and not a man dwelleth therein. And thou, when thou art made desolate, what wilt thou do?... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 4:27

Jeremiah 4:27. Yet will I not make a full end— Some understand this as a gracious promise, that though God would punish Jerusalem, yet he would not utterly forget her, but hereafter restore and rebuild her. See the next chapter, Jeremiah 4:10; Jeremiah 4:18. Others understand it, as referring to still further calamities. Accordingly, Houbigant renders it, Yet this is not all which I will do; meaning, that not only the country should be totally desolated by the Chaldeans, but that the whole... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 4:5-30

Yahweh’s declaration of divine judgment 4:5-6:30The Judahites-having sinned greatly (ch. 2)-failed to repent (Jeremiah 3:1 to Jeremiah 4:4). Consequently, judgment in the form of military invasion would overtake them. This whole section is an amplification and explanation of the overflowing cauldron vision in Jeremiah 1:13-16.This section provides a clear example of the mosaic structure of the Book of Jeremiah. It consists of 13 separate messages that all deal with the threat of approaching... read more
