Context — Judgment on Idolatrygenerated
Jeremiah 17:3 is part of a larger message where God warns His people about the consequences of their idolatry and rebellion. The passage highlights the connection between their actions and the loss of their blessings, emphasizing that their high places, associated with pagan worship, have led to divine judgment. This theme of judgment for idolatry is echoed throughout the prophetic literature, reminding the people of their covenant obligations.

The Key Word — חֵיל, cheilgenerated
The word חֵיל (cheil) refers to strength, might, or wealth. It can denote physical power, military strength, or financial resources. The parsing indicates it is a noun in the singular form, specifically in the construct state, implying possession or association with the suffix.
In this verse, it signifies the wealth of the people, which God declares will be given over as plunder due to their sin. This usage underscores the seriousness of their idolatry, as their very resources are tied to their covenant relationship with God.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'I will give over your wealth and all your treasures as plunder.' The BSB uses 'wealth' to translate חֵיל, which aligns with the KJV and ASV, both of which also convey the idea of strength or might.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is אֶתֵּן, I will give, which governs the entire clause. The structure includes a noun phrase that identifies what is being given (your wealth and treasures) and a prepositional phrase explaining the reason (because of the sin of your high places).
The arrangement emphasizes the cause-and-effect relationship between the people's idolatry and the loss of their wealth, with the verb at the forefront indicating the decisive action of God.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint does not provide a direct translation for this verse, but it maintains the same words in a one-to-one correspondence with the Hebrew. This suggests that the translators aimed to preserve the original meaning without introducing significant interpretive changes.
The absence of a Greek rendering indicates a direct alignment with the Hebrew text, reinforcing the seriousness of the judgment being pronounced.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Jeremiah 17:3 warns that God will take away the wealth and treasures of His people because of their sin and idolatry. This judgment highlights the consequences of turning away from God and worshiping false idols.

(Genesis 25:27) The separate plots of ground were marked off by stones, which might easily be removed, (19:14; 27:17) cf.

Sin
Is “any want of conformity unto or transgression of the law of God” (1 John 3:4; Rom. 4:15), in the inward state and habit of the soul, as well as in the outward conduct of the life, whether by omission or commission (Rom. 6:12-17; 7:5-24). It is “not a mere violation of the law of our constitution, nor of the system of things, but an offence against a personal lawgiver and moral governor who vindicates his law with penalties. The soul that sins is always conscious that his sin is (1) intrinsically vile and polluting, and (2) that it justly deserves punishment, and calls down the righteous wrath of God. Hence sin carries with it two inalienable characters, (1) ill-desert, guilt (reatus); and (2) pollution (macula).”, Hodge’s…
a city of Egypt, mentioned only by Ezekiel. (Ezekiel 30:15,16) The name is Hebrew, or at least Semitic, perhaps signifying clay . It is identified in the Vulgate with Pelusium, "the clayey or muddy" town. Its antiquity may perhaps be inferred from the mention of "the wilderness of Sin" in the journeys of the Israelites. (Exodus 16:1; Numbers 33:11) Ezekiel speaks of Sin as "Sin the strongholds of Egypt." (Ezekiel 30:15) This place was held by Egypt from that time until the period of the Romans. Herodotus relates that Sennacherib advanced against Pelusium, and that near Pelusium Cambyses defeated Psammenitus. In like manner the decisive battle in which Ochus defeated the…
1. Any thought, word, desire, action, or omission of action, contrary to the law of God, or defective when compared with it.
The origin of sin is a subject which baffles all investigation; and our inquiries are much better directed when we seek through Christ a release from its penalty and power, for ourselves and the world. Its entrance into the world, and infection of the whole human race, its nature, forms, and effects, and its fatal possession of every unregenerate soul, are fully described in the Bible, Ge 6:5 Ps 51:5 Mt 15:19 Ro 5:12 Jas 1:14,15.
