Commentary on Jeremiah 17:3
Theological / DevotionalO my mountain. The Hebrew of this phrase is obscure. Many of the ancient versions consider the phrase an adverbial modifier, simply indicating the place where the idolatries were carried on, namely, in the mountains. Compare the reading of the RSV.
Give thy substance. An allusion to the spoils that the invading Babylonians would take from Jerusalem, especially from the Temple (see 2 Kings 24:10–16).
