John Gill Commentary Jeremiah 30:11

"For I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to save thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; but I will correct thee in measure, and will in no wise leave thee unpunished." — Jeremiah 30:11 (ASV)

For I [am] with you, says the Lord, to save you
Not only from temporal enemies, but from spiritual ones, sin, Satan, and the world; and to save them with a spiritual and everlasting salvation, which the presence and power of God, through his rich grace, will bring all his people to: though I will make a full end of all nations where I have scattered
you, yet I will not make a full end of you ;
a full end has been made of the Assyrians, Chaldeans, and Egyptians; these people and their names are no more; and of Rome Pagan, which, upon the opening of the sixth seal, departed as a scroll that is rolled together; and so will all the antichristian states be made a full end of, when the vials of God's wrath are poured out upon them; and yet the people of the Jews, a poor, mean, and despicable people, have been continued a distinct people, notwithstanding their dispersion so many hundreds of years; and will continue so until they are called and converted:

but I will correct you in measure ;
or "in", or "according to judgment" ^F21; as in (Jeremiah 10:24); wisely, moderately, and with clemency; which the Targum paraphrases "judgment remitted"; which is not strict and rigorous, but is abated of its rigour, and is mixed with mercy: and will not leave you altogether unpunished ;
or, "let you go free"; from correction and chastisement in a merciful way. The Targum is, "in destroying I will not destroy you;" or utterly destroy you. And Kimchi and Ben Melech interpret it of cutting off, from the use of the word in (Zechariah 5:3).
