Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 17:13

_ _ me — “Jehovah.” Though “Thee” precedes. This sudden transition is usual in the prophetic style, owing to the prophet’s continual realization of Jehovah’s presence.

_ _ all that forsake thee — (Psalms 73:27; Isaiah 1:28).

_ _ written in the earth — in the dust, that is, shall be consigned to oblivion. So Jesus’ significant writing “on the ground (probably the accusers’ names)” (John 8:6). Names written in the dust are obliterated by a very slight wind. Their hopes and celebrity are wholly in the earth, not in the heavenly book of life (Revelation 13:8; Revelation 20:12, Revelation 20:15). The Jews, though boasting that they were the people of God, had no portion in heaven, no status before God and His angels. Contrast “written in heaven,” that is, in the muster-roll of its blessed citizens (Luke 10:20). Also, contrast “written in a book,” and “in the rock for ever” (Job 19:23, Job 19:24).

_ _ living waters — (Jeremiah 2:13).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 17:12-18.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 17:13

Depart — From what I have revealed to them as thy will, shall have no portion beyond the earth.
