"But I will correct you in justice"

Text: Jeremiah 30:11

GOD’S PLAN OF RESTORATION II

There were important lessons for Israel to learn. The LORD had to correct the nation for all the wickedness it had exhibited. Divine justice demands some punitive action to be taken against the nation.

“‘For I am with you,’ says the LORD, ‘to save you;
Though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you,
Yet I will not make a complete end of you.
But I will correct you in justice,
And will not let you go altogether unpunished.'”
