This is your lot
The term "lot" in this context refers to a divinely appointed portion or destiny. In ancient Israel, the concept of "lot" often involved the casting of lots to discern God's will, as seen in the division of the Promised Land among the tribes (Joshua 18:10). Here, it signifies the inevitable outcome or judgment that God has determined for the people due to their actions. It underscores the sovereignty of God in determining the fate of nations and individuals, reminding us that our actions have consequences that align with divine justice.

the portion I have measured to you
The word "portion" suggests an allocation or inheritance, often used in the context of land or blessings given by God. The phrase "I have measured" indicates a deliberate and precise action by God, emphasizing His control and authority. In biblical times, measuring was a method of ensuring fairness and accuracy, often associated with justice. This phrase highlights that the judgment coming upon the people is not arbitrary but is a carefully considered response to their behavior, reflecting God's righteousness and fairness.

declares the LORD
This phrase is a prophetic formula that asserts the authority and authenticity of the message. "The LORD" (YHWH) is the covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal and unchanging nature. When God declares something, it is a definitive statement that carries the weight of divine authority. This serves as a reminder that the message is not Jeremiah's own but is a direct communication from God, demanding attention and reverence.

because you have forgotten Me
Forgetting God in the biblical sense is not merely a lapse in memory but a willful neglect of His commandments and presence. In Deuteronomy 8:11-14, forgetting God is associated with disobedience and pride. This phrase indicates a relational breach, where the people have turned away from their covenant relationship with God. It serves as a warning about the dangers of spiritual amnesia, where the blessings and commands of God are overshadowed by worldly pursuits.

and trusted in falsehood
The word "trusted" implies reliance and confidence, which in this context is misplaced. "Falsehood" refers to deceit, lies, or idolatry. In the historical context of Jeremiah, the people of Judah often turned to false gods and deceptive alliances for security, rather than trusting in the LORD. This phrase highlights the futility and danger of placing trust in anything other than God. It serves as a call to discernment and faithfulness, urging believers to anchor their trust in the truth of God's word and character.

(25) The portion of thy measures.--The meaning of the latter word is doubtful, but it is probably used, as in 1Samuel 4:12; Leviticus 6:11; 2Samuel 20:8; Ruth 3:15, for the "upper garment" or "lap" of the dress. In this sense the phrase is connected with those which speak of reward or punishment being given men "into their bosom" (Jeremiah 32:18; Psalm 79:12; Proverbs 21:14). . . . Verse 25. - The portion of thy measures; i.e. thy measured portion. But it is probably safer to render, the portion of thy garment, the upper garment being used instead of a bag to hold anything (comp. Ruth 3:15; 2 Kings 4:39). In falsehood; i.e. in false gods (Jeremiah 16:19).
