Jeremiah23:39
39. I will ... forget you--just retribution for their forgetting Him (Ho 4:6). But God cannot possibly forget His children (Is 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 Jr 23:36: "every man's word shall be his burden."
