Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Jeremiah 4:27

Yet will I not make a full end— Some understand this as a gracious promise, that though God would punish Jerusalem, yet he would not utterly forget her, but hereafter restore and rebuild her. See the next chapter, Jeremiah 4:10; Jeremiah 4:18. Others understand it, as referring to still further calamities. Accordingly, Houbigant renders it, Yet this is not all which I will do; meaning, that not only the country should be totally desolated by the Chaldeans, but that the whole state and polity of the Jews should be entirely subverted, Jeremiah 4:28.
