Contextual Overview

³³ "Suppose the people of Judah, a prophet, or a priest asks you: ‘Jeremiah, what is the message from the Lord ?' You will answer them and say, ‘You are a heavy load to the Lord , and I will throw you down, says the Lord .' ³⁴ A prophet or a priest or one of the people might say, ‘This is a message from the Lord .' That person has lied, so I will punish him and his whole family. ³⁵ This is what you will say to each other: ‘What did the Lord answer?' or ‘What did the Lord say?' ³⁶ But you will never again say, ‘The message of the Lord ,' because the only message you speak is your own words. You have changed the words of our God, the living God, the Lord All-Powerful. ³⁷ This is how you should speak to the prophets: ‘What answer did the Lord give you?' or ‘What did the Lord say?' ³⁸ But don't say, ‘The message from the Lord .' If you use these words, this is what the Lord says: Because you called it a ‘message from the Lord ,' though I told you not to use those words, ³⁹ I will pick you up and throw you away from me, along with Jerusalem, which I gave to your ancestors and to you. ⁴⁰ And I will make a disgrace of you forever; your shame will never be forgotten."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you,.... Which was a just retaliation for reproaching, vilifying, and bantering his word: they who had been honoured so much and so long as the people of God, and their city counted the glory of the earth; yet now both they and that should be the byword of the people, and had in the utmost contempt, and that for ever, or at least a long time, even for a series of ages; which has been their case ever since their destruction by the Romans, and still is; for this cannot be restrained to the short captivity of seventy years in Babylon; though this reproach began then, and they never recovered their former honour and glory;

and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten; the same thing in different words, to heighten their disgrace, and confirm the perpetuity of it.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 23:40. I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you — And this reproach of having rebelled against so good a God, and rejected so powerful a Saviour, follows them to this day through all their dispersions, in every part of the habitable earth. The word of the Lord cannot fail.
