Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 44:28

28 Yet a small number that escape the sword, shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah ; and all the remnant of Judah that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine or theirs .

This justifieth the restrained interpretation of none of the remnant, ver. 14. for here it is plainly said, that some should escape and return.

But for the rest they should there perish, and by that it would appear whether Gods word or theirs should stand, and have its accomplishment, they promising themselves security, God threatning them with utter ruine and destruction.
