What Does Jeremiah 32:28 Mean?
God acknowledges the military reality: judgment will proceed. The city will fall; Nebuchadrezzar will take it. This is not averted but confirmed. God is not answering Jeremiah by denying exile but by affirming that even exile is under God's sovereign control, not random catastrophe.
By placing this confirmation after asserting His power, God establishes that the fall of the city does not contradict His sovereignty. Exile is judgment, yes—but judgment administered by the God who said it would happen, whose word proves true.
