Jer. 17:1–3 pen of iron . . . point of diamond. These were tools for carving on stone, which is what their heart has become. beside every green tree, on the high hills, on the mountains. Serving idols in every conceivable location is the sin engraved on their hearts.
Jer. 17:5 Cursed. Experiencing negative consequences (Deut. 28:15–68).
Jer. 17:6 like a shrub in the desert. Alone and without resources when disaster comes.
Jer. 17:7 Blessed. Filled with God-defined benefits. whose trust is the Lord. Only trust in God motivates confident obedience in times of crisis.
Jer. 17:8 tree planted by water. Settled with resources no matter what happens. A perfect contrast to the “shrub in the desert” (v. 6; see Ps. 1:3).
Jer. 17:9 heart. The human will and emotions (see vv. 5–7). desperately sick. The sinful heart cannot be cured without God’s help (15:18; 30:12; 15; Mic. 1:9). who can understand it? A rhetorical question expecting a negative answer. However, this strongly negative assessment of the human heart does not describe the believer’s heart under the new covenant; God promises to write his law on his people’s hearts (Jer. 31:33; 32:40; see Ezek. 36:26; Heb. 10:22).
Jer. 17:12–13 glorious throne. The temple (14:21; Ps. 80:1). our sanctuary. A place of security when the people trust Yahweh, but a place of thieves when they do not (Jer. 7:1–15). written in the earth. Those who turn away from God shall die and be buried without honor (Ps. 69:28). fountain of living water. Source of spiritual strength (Jer. 17:5–8; see note on 2:12–13).
Jer. 17:14 Jeremiah prays for his own healing and salvation. my praise. That which he most values and speaks of with most joy.
Jer. 17:16 the day of sickness. Judah’s spiritual unfaithfulness and its punishment.
Jer. 17:17–18 For now Jeremiah stands with God, not the people. Thus he fulfills God’s commands in 1:7–10; 17–19; 15:19–21.
Jer. 17:24–27 Restoration of Sabbath rest and worship will result in permanent rule by David’s lineage, permanent life in the land, and permanent worship. Refusal to keep the Sabbath will result in fire in its gates, a metaphor for destruction (Amos 1:3–2:5).
