Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 17:13

13 O LORD! the hope of Israel all they that forsake thee shall be ashamed , and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth , because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters .

That is, he in whom alone the true Israel of God can hope.

Those who forsake thy Law, and that rule thou hast given them whereby to direct their conversations, first or last will be ashamed of such their disobedience.

And those that depart from what I have, as thy Prophet, revealed to them as thy will, shall have no portion beyond the Earth which they seem so fond of. Or their names, and memories shall vanish, and perish, and be presently extinct like words written in dust.

Because they have forsaken thee who art the alone certain relief and comfort of people, the fountain and original of all that good that people can hope for.
