Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 17:4

_ _ even thyself — rather, “owing to thyself,” that is, by thy own fault (Jeremiah 15:13).

_ _ discontinue from — be dispossessed of. Not only thy substance, but thyself shall be carried off to a strange land (Jeremiah 15:14).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 17:1-4.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 17:4

For ever — For a long time; so the word ever is often taken.

Jeremiah 17:4

And thou, even (f) thyself, shall discontinue from thy heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thy enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in my anger, [which] shall burn for ever.

(f) Because you would not give the land rest, at such times, days and years as I appointed, you will after this be carried away and it will rest for lack of labourers.
