This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I will ... forget you - just retribution for their forgetting Him (Hos 4:6). But God cannot possibly forget His children (Isa 49:15). Rather for “forget” translate, “I will altogether lift you up (like a ‘burden,’ alluding to their mocking term for God’s messages) and cast you off.” God makes their wicked language fall on their own head [Calvin]. Compare Jer 23:36 : “every man’s word shall be his burden.”
