No remnant - 128 men of Anathoth returned from exile Ezr 2:23; Neh 7:27. Jeremiah’s denunciation was limited to those who had sought his life. The year of their visitation would be the year of the siege of Jerusalem, when Anathoth being in its immediate vicinity would have its share of the horrors of war.
This site's exposition
the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life
on Jeremiah 11:21-23
The plotters are named as the men of Anathoth, Jeremiah's own priestly hometown from 1:1, his kinsmen demanding silence, prophesy not in the name of the Lord, that thou die not by our hand, a threat from the very people who should have known his call best. The sentence answering them, the young men shall die by the sword, is the first judgment the book records Jeremiah asking for and receiving in kind, and the bench reads the unit as proof that prophecy in this book costs the prophet his own household before it costs him anything else.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
on Jeremiah 11:22-23
Two of God's four sore judgments shall serve to ruin their town:-- The sword shall devour their young men, though they were young priests, not men of war (their character shall not be their protection), and famine shall destroy the children, sons and daughters, that tarry at home, which is a more grievous death than that by the sword, Lam. iv.
They sought Jeremiah's life, and therefore they shall die; they would destroy him root and branch, that his name might be no more remembered, and therefore there shall be no remnant of them; and herein the Lord is righteous. Thus evil is brought upon them, even the year of their visitation, and that is evil enough, a recompence according to their deserts.
