and there shall be no remnant to them: for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.

A Specific Judgment
Commentators explain that the prophecy of "no remnant" was not a total, permanent annihilation of the town. Instead, it was a specific judgment against the generation of men who conspired to kill Jeremiah. This is reconciled with records in Ezra and Nehemiah, which show that 128 men from Anathoth later returned from exile, highlighting the precise and targeted nature of God's justice.
