Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 4:27

"For thus saith Jehovah, The whole land shall be a desolation; yet will I not make a full end." — Jeremiah 4:27 (ASV)

Yet will I not make a full end. —The thought is echoed from Amos 9:8; Isaiah 6:13; Isaiah 10:21, and repeated in Jeremiah 5:18. There was then hope in the distance. The destruction, terrible as it seemed, was not final. The penalty was a discipline. .
