Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)
Earnest as was the preceding expostulation, Jeremiah sees that it has produced no effect. He therefore utters his last warning, and with this last resistance to the sins of a debased and godless people, his earthly ministry closed. Jer 44:25 And fulfilled with your hand - Your hands. Jeremiah pointed to their hands, in which they were carrying the crescent-shaped cakes which they had vowed to the goddess. Their idolatry therefore was an accomplished deed, as the symbols held in their hands testified. Ye will surely accomplish - Or, Accomplish then your vows.
This site's exposition
Then Jeremiah said to all the people, including all the women
on Jeremiah 44:24-28
Jeremiah addresses the women again and tells them, “Keep your vows!” The LORD swears “by My great name” that no one from Judah living in Egypt will again invoke His name. The remnant “will know whose word will stand, Mine or theirs,” the test of a prophet in Deuteronomy 18:22.

5 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods. 6 Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.

Judah, that dwells in the land of Egypt, has God speaking to them, even there; that is their privilege. Let them observe what he says; that is their duty,
