I am with you and I will save you, says the Lord. I will completely destroy the nations where I have scattered you (My people) but I will not destroy you.

But... "I must discipline you;" I cannot let YOU go unpunished. (Jeremiah 30:11)

For the LORD disciplines those He loves, and He punishes each one "He accepts" as His child.” (Hebrews 12:6)

(Why, because God is Holy, Holy, Holy and completely Just - He is the same yesterday, TODAY and forever.)
