Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 44:26

26 Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt, Behold I have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD , that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah, in all the land of Egypt, saying, the LORD God liveth .

Seeing you are so fixed and peremptory, God is as resolved as you are, and as you think you must be Religious to your wicked vows, so be assured God will be as Religious to his Oath, because he can swear by no greater, he hath sworn by himself, Heb. 6.1[illegible: 1 letter] ▪ 16. (for so name signifieth here).

There shall not any be le[illegible: 1 letter]t of the Iews that are in Egypt, to swear The Lord God liveth, (for it should seem, that the Iews yet retained something of the Religion of their Country, and sware by the Name of the living God, according to the Precept, Deut. 6.13. and 10.20.) God threatneth there should be none of them left alive to do it, he would not have his holy Name polluted by those mouths that had been used to bless Idols.
