Jer 23:39 | MHM | STEP | v. 39–40 : God declares the punishment for their mockery and rebellion. He says, I will utterly forget you and forsake you (Jeremiah 23:39 ). This means He will no longer protect them or think of them as His people. The holy city of Jerusalem, which God had given to them and their ancestors, will be abandoned. They will face everlasting reproach and perpetual shame (Jeremiah 23:40 ). Their sin and punishment will become a lasting disgrace. God’s word will be proven true, and those who mocked it will face the consequences. This shows that God’s judgments are serious, and those who despise Him will be brought low.

This means He will no longer protect them or think of them as His people. The holy city of Jerusalem, which God had given to them and their ancestors, will be abandoned. They will face everlasting reproach and perpetual shame (Jeremiah 23:40 ^b). Their sin and punishment will become a lasting disgrace. God’s word will be proven true, and those who mocked it will face the consequences. This shows that God’s judgments are serious, and those who despise Him will be brought low.
