Maintenant donc, ainsi a dit l'Eternel, le Dieu des armées, le Dieu d'Israël : pourquoi faites-vous ce grand mal contre vous-mêmes, pour vous faire retrancher du milieu de Juda, hommes et femmes, petits enfants, et ceux qui tètent, afin qu'on ne vous laisse aucun de reste?
Et maintenant, ainsi a dit l'Éternel, le Dieu des armées, le Dieu d'Israël: Pourquoi vous faites-vous ce grand mal à vous-mêmes, en vous faisant retrancher du milieu de Juda, hommes et femmes, enfants et nourrissons, en sorte qu'il n'y ait plus de vous aucun reste?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore now thus saith the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel,.... The same epithets as before, Jeremiah 44:2; with an addition, that his words might carry more weight with them:
wherefore commit ye [this] great evil against your souls; the sin of idolatry, which is a great evil; a sin against God; a giving the glory to another, that belongs to him and not only so, but is against the souls of men; pernicious and ruinous to them, which brings destruction, even eternal wrath and damnation, on them; and this is an interesting argument why it should not be committed; nay, it was not only against God, and against themselves, but against their families, and the interest of them:
to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain; not that they did this great evil or committed idolatry with this intention, to ruin their families and posterity; but so it was eventually; hereby they provoked the Lord to anger, to cut off the men that offered incense to idols; and the women their wives, whom they allowed so to do; and their children, who were brought up in the same practices; so that they would have none to succeed them, to bear their name, and inherit their land; unless God should be merciful, and not deal according to their deserts; for such was the nature of their crime, as to deserve an utter extirpation of them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Your souls - i. e., your own selves.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 44:7. This great evil against your souls — Will not self-interest weigh with you? See what ruin your conduct has brought upon your country. Your fathers sinned as you are doing; and where are they now? Either destroyed, or in captivity. And you are now taking the same way to your own destruction.
