Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 9:19

"For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we ruined! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings." — Jeremiah 9:19 (ASV)

We have forsaken. —Better, we have left. The English version suggests a voluntary abandonment, which is not involved in the Hebrew.
