Jeremiah 5:18

For thus says Yahweh, “The whole land shall be a desolation, Yet I will not execute a complete destruction.

‘For I am with you,’ declares Yahweh, ‘to save you; For I will make a complete destruction of all the nations where I have scattered you, Only I will not make a complete destruction of you. But I will chasten you justly And will by no means leave you unpunished.’

“Yet My eye had pity on them rather than bringing them to ruin, and I did not make of them a complete destruction in the wilderness.
