Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 30:11

11 For I am with thee saith the LORD; to save thee : though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee : but I will correct thee in measure , and will not leave thee altogether unpunished .

To save thee, with a Temporal Salvation, and deliverance, and those of thee who are Israelites indeed with a spiritual, and eternal Salvation, but the first is, what is here principally intended.

God puts a difference betwixt the chastisements of his People, and the punishment of their Enemies, the latter he destroyeth with an utter, and total destruction, to make an end of them, but he chastens his People like a father for their profit, and will not bring them to utter ruine.

He corrects them in measure; the Hebrew word signifieth in judgment; that is, not in Equity onely, but in Wisdom, or with Moderation, whereas he is said to punish his Enemies in fury. There are many Texts of Scripture that mention this difference which God puts betwixt his punishing his people, and his punishing their Enemies, Isa. 26.14, 19. & 27.7, 8.

But yet God will not let his own people go altogether unpunished, that by it they may be reclaimed, and the World may take notice that God is of purer eyes than that he can in any persons behold iniquity.
