Jeremiah 5:18

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; See Gill on Jeremiah 4:27 , Jeremiah 5:10 , 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.
