Multiple commentators (Barnes, Ellicott, Gill) highlight a powerful irony in the text. The Hebrew word for “discontinue” is the same one used for letting the land rest during the Sabbatical year. Because Judah refused to obey God's command to give the land its rest, God would now force them to “discontinue” from their heritage through exile, ensuring the land received its due rest. This shows that God's commands are not optional and disobedience has fitting consequences.
