jeremiah 23:39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:

jeremiah 23:39 "Therefore behold, I shall surely forget you and cast you away from My presence, along with the city which I gave you and your fathers.

39. I will . . . forget you--just retribution for their forgetting Him (Ho 4:6). But God cannot possibly forget His children (Isa 49:15). 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 Jer 23:36: "every man's word shall be his burden."

jeremiah 23:39 "Therefore behold, I shall surely forget you and cast you away from My presence, along with the city which I gave you and your fathers.
