Jeremiah 30:11For I am with you, says Yahweh, to save you: for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.
The setting
Babylon, ~587 BC. Surrounding nations celebrate Jerusalem's fall while Jews wonder if God abandoned them. Modern-day Iraq.
The emotion here: grieving over his people's suffering but confident in God's measured justice
The original word
mishpat (מִשְׁפָּט) — justice, measured judgment, not arbitrary punishment
Why it matters
Every empire that conquered Israel was later destroyed, but Israel survived
