Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 23:39
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
39. I will . . . forget you —just retribution for their forgetting Him ( :- ). But God cannot possibly forget His children ( :- ). Rather for "forget" translate, "I will altogether lift you up (like a 'burden,' alluding to their mocking term for God's messages) and cast you off." God makes their wicked language fall on their own head [CALVIN]. Compare Jeremiah 23:36 : "every man's word shall be his burden." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-40" class="com-number"
