Gill's Notes on the Bible
They have belied the Lord, and said, it is not he,.... Or, "denied the Lord" x, as some render the words, saying that there was no God; which, though they might not deliver in express words, yet inasmuch as they denied his providence, and disbelieved his word by his prophets, it was tacitly denying that there was a God, or that the Lord was God. The meaning of the phrase "not he" may be, he takes no notice of what is done by us; he does not concern himself with our affairs; nor has he given any such orders to our enemies, as above; nor said these things by the prophets which are pretended:
neither shall evil come upon us; they speak of:
neither shall we see sword nor famine; war and sieges, and famine, the consequence of them.
x וכחשו ביהוה "egaverunt Dominum", V. L. Pagninus; "abnegant", Piscator; "abnegarunt Jehovam", Cocceius, Schmidt.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
It is not he - i. e., Who speaks by the prophets.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 5:12. They have belied the Lord — כחשו kichashu. They have denied or disavowed the Lord.
It is not he — לוא הוא lo hu, he is not; there is no such being; therefore this evil shall not come upon us. On their premises, this conclusion was just. There is no judge; therefore there shall be no judgment. Thus they denied the Lord. They were atheists at heart.
