Gill's Notes on the Bible
And be thou instructed, O Jerusalem,.... Or "corrected" s; receive discipline or instructions by chastisements and corrections, return by repentance, that the evils threatened may not come: this shows the affection of the Lord to his people, notwithstanding all their sins; that their amendment, and not their destruction, were pleasing to him; that it was with reluctance he was about to visit them in the manner threatened; and that even now it was not too late, provided they were instructed and reformed; but, if not, they must expect what follows:
lest my soul depart from thee; his Shechinah, or divine Presence, and all the tokens of his love, favour, and good will. The Targum interprets it of the Word of the Lord,
"lest my Word cast thee off;''
see Romans 11:1, or, "lest my soul pluck itself from thee"; or "be plucked" t, and separated from thee: the phrase denotes an utter separation, a forcible one, joined with the utmost abhorrence and detestation. In Ezekiel 23:18, it is rendered, "my mind was alienated"; it denotes disunion and disaffection.
Lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited; the Targum adds, by way of illustration,
"as the land of Sodom;''
so that not a man should dwell in it; see Jeremiah 4:25.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Lest my soul - Lest I Myself - not âdepart from thee,â God does not willingly leave His people, but - âbe torn from thee.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 6:8. Be thou instructed — Still there is respite: if they would even now return unto the Lord with all their heart, the advancing Chaldeans would be arrested on their march and turned back.
