Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 17:3

_ _ mountain — Jerusalem, and especially Zion and the temple.

_ _ in the field — As Jerusalem was surrounded by mountains (Psalms 125:2), the sense probably is, Ye rely on your mountainous position (Jeremiah 3:23), but I will make “My mountain” to become as if it were in a plain (field), so as to give thy substance an easy prey to the enemy [Calvin]. “Field” may, however, mean all Judea; it and “My mountain” will thus express the country and its capital. (Gesenius translates, “together with,” instead of “in”; as the Hebrew is translated in Jeremiah 11:19; Hosea 5:6; but this is not absolutely needed), “the substance” of both of which God “will give to the spoil.”

_ _ thy high places — corresponding in parallelism to “My mountain” (compare Isaiah 11:9), as “all thy borders,” to “the field” (which confirms the view that “field” means all Judea).

_ _ for sin — connected with high places” in English Version, namely, frequented for sin, that is, for idolatrous sacrifices. But Jeremiah 15:13 makes the rendering probable, “I will give thy substance ... to ... spoil ... on account of thy sin throughout all thy borders.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 17:1-4.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 17:3

My mountain — Jerusalem stood at the foot of an hill, and part of it on the side of it, upon the top of which hills, were many pleasant fields.
