Que s'ils disent : l'Eternel est vivant; ils jurent en cela plus faussement.
Męme s'ils disent: L'Éternel est vivant! c'est faussement qu'ils jurent.
Et s'ils disent: L'Éternel est vivant! en cela męme, ils jurent faussement.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And though they say, the Lord liveth,.... It might be said, that there were multitudes that made mention of the name of the Lord, that professed it, and swore by it; which sometimes is put for the worship and service of God, Deuteronomy 10:20 and therefore it could not be so difficult a matter to find a man of integrity and uprightness among them; this is answered by allowing there were persons that did do so: but then it must be observed,
that surely they swear falsely; they abused the name of God, and were guilty of perjury: or the sense is, they were only nominal professors, hypocritical worshippers; in words professed to know God, but in works denied him; had a form of religion and godliness, but without the power of it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Though they take the most binding form of oath, they do so only as a means of deceiving others.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 5:2. The Lord liveth — Though they profess to bind themselves by Jehovah, as if they acknowledged him their God and only Lord, yet they swore falsely; for not believing in him, they took a false oath; one by which they did not believe themselves bound, not acknowledging him as their Lord. See on Jeremiah 4:2.
