Barnes' Notes
The verb rendered "discontinue" is that used of letting the land rest Exodus 23:11, and of releasing creditors Deuteronomy 15:2 in the sabbatical year. As Judah had not kept these sabbatical years she must now discontinue the tillage of God' s inheritance until the land had had its rest. "Even thyself may mean and that through thyself," through thine own fault.
