For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
Though I make a full end of all nations ... yet ... not ... of thee - (Amos 9:8). The punishment of reprobates is final and fatal; that of God's people temporary and corrective. Babylon was utterly destroyed; Israel after chastisement was delivered.
I will correct thee in measure - literally, with judgment, i:e., moderation, not in the full rigour of justice (Jeremiah 10:24; Jeremiah 46:28; Psalms 6:1; Isaiah 27:8).
I will not leave thee altogether unpunished - (Exodus 34:7).
