Jeremiah 4:27 - Exposition

The vision breaks off, and the prophet emphasizes its truthfulness by the announcement of the Divine decree. "Desolation, and yet not a full end," is its burden. This is the same doctrine of the" remnant" which formed so important a part of the prophetic message of Isaiah and his contemporaries. However severe the punishment of Judah may be, there will be a "remnant" which shall escape, and become the seed of a holier nation ( Amos 9:8 ; Isaiah 4:2 ; Isaiah 6:13 ; Isaiah 10:20 ; Isaiah 11:11 ; Hosea 6:1 , Hosea 6:2 ).
