Jeremiah 30:10-11

10. from afar—Be not afraid as if the distance of the places whither ye are to be dispersed precludes the possibility of return.

seed—Though through the many years of captivity intervening, you yourselves may not see the restoration, the promise shall be fulfilled to your seed, primarily at the return from Babylon, fully at the final restoration.

quiet . . . none . . . make . . . afraid— (Jer 23:6; Zec 14:11).

11. though . . . full end of all nations . . . yet . . . not . . . of thee— (Am 9:8). The punishment of reprobates is final and fatal; that of God's people temporary and corrective. Babylon was utterly destroyed: Israel after chastisement was delivered.

in measure—literally, "with judgment," that is, moderation, not in the full rigor of justice (Jer 10:24; 46:28; Ps 6:1; Isa 27:8).

not . . . altogether unpunished— (Ex 34:7).
