Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - Be thou instructed; rather, Let thyself be corrected (Authorized Version misses the sense, a very important one, of the conjugation, which is Nifal tolerativum (comp. Psalm 2:10; Isaiah 53:12). The phrase equivalent to "receive correction" (Jeremiah 2:30; Jeremiah 5:3), and means to accept the warning conveyed in the Divine chastisement. Lest my soul, etc.; rather, lest my soul be rent from thee (Authorized Version renders the same verb in Ezekiel 23:17, "be alienated").

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) Be thou instructed.--Better, Be thou corrected, or, chastened. Comp. Psalm 2:10; Leviticus 26:23 (where we have "reformed"); and Proverbs 29:19.Lest my soul.--As in Jeremiah 4:19, the Hebrew formula for emphasised personality. The word for "depart" may be better rendered tear itself away.
