40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
40 I will bring on you everlasting disgrace-everlasting shame that will not be forgotten."
40 And I will bring upon you everlasting reproach and perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.'"
40 You're never going to live this down. You're going down in history as a disgrace."
40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.' "
40 And I will make you an object of ridicule, and your name will be infamous throughout the ages.'"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 23:40
Commentary on Jeremiah 23:33-40
(Read Jeremiah 23:33-40)
Those are miserable indeed who are forsaken and forgotten of God; and men's jesting at God's judgments will not baffle them. God had taken Israel to be a people near to him, but they shall now be cast out of his presence. It is a mark of great and daring impiety for men to jest with the words of God. Every idle and profane word will add to the sinner's burden in the day of judgment, when everlasting shame will be his portion.
