Jeremiah 11:23and there shall be no remnant to them: for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
The setting
Anathoth, Israel, ~605 BC. God declares complete judgment - not just death, but no survivors, no family line continuing. The 'year of visitation' refers to Babylon's final siege in 586 BC.
The emotion here: soberly recording divine justice - understanding the terrible finality of opposing God's word
The original word
she'erit (שארית) — remnant, survivors, what remains after disaster
Why it matters
Archaeological evidence shows Anathoth was abandoned after 586 BC and never fully resettled during the Persian period
Read with care
What most readers miss in Jeremiah 11:23
'Year of visitation' is a technical term for God's appointed time of judgment - like a scheduled audit
Common misconceptionThis seems harsh and final, but it's specifically about those who tried to silence God's warning voice - they rejected the very message that could have saved them.
