✦ MADE SIMPLE

None of them will survive, because I will bring disaster on the people of Anathoth when the time comes for their punishment.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God is declaring that complete judgment will come upon the people of Anathoth - none will escape when their time of punishment arrives.

📚 Historical Context

Anathoth was Jeremiah's hometown, located about three miles northeast of Jerusalem. The people there had plotted against Jeremiah's life because his prophecies threatened their comfortable religious and political positions. This verse is God's response to their persecution of His prophet, showing that even Jeremiah's own neighbors and possibly family members would face divine judgment for their opposition.
