4. cause . . . to be removed— (Deuteronomy 28:25; Ezekiel 23:46). Rather, "I will give them up to vexation," I will cause them to wander so as nowhere to have repose [CALVIN]; (2 Chronicles 29:8, "trouble;" Margin, "commotion"). because of Manasseh—He was now dead, but the effects of his sins still remained. How much evil one bad man can cause! The evil fruits remain even after he himself has received repentance and forgiveness. The people had followed his wicked example ever since; and it is... read more

It also contains two... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 15:4
All the kingdoms of the earth would look on Judah’s fate with horror. This judgment would come because of all the sins that wicked King Manasseh had introduced and revived in Jerusalem and throughout Judah (cf. 2 Kings 21:10-15; 2 Kings 23:26; 2 Kings 24:3). Manasseh was the most syncretistic of all the Davidic kings. This was especially deplorable since Manasseh was the son of one of Judah’s most godly kings, Hezekiah. The wickedness that Manasseh was responsible for so saturated life in... read more

1-9. The coming woes described.1. Moses (Exodus 17:11; Exodus 32:11; Numbers 14:13-20) and Samuel (1 Samuel 7:9; 1 Samuel 12:23) were successful pleaders with God in time past: cp. Psalms 99:6. 2. To death] meaning, by pestilence. 4. To be removed into] RV ’to be tossed to and fro among.’ For Manasseh’s wickedness see 2 Kings 21:3. 7.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 15:4
(4) Manasseh the son of Hezekiah.—The horror of that long and evil reign still lingered in the minds of men, and the prophet saw in it the beginning of the evils from which his people were now suffering. The name of Hezekiah may have been inserted as an aggravation of the guilt of his successor. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Jeremiah 15:1-21
The Eating of God's Words Jeremiah 15:16 The former verse contains a suggestion which bears upon the interpretation of this text. That suggestion is this, that the position which the prophet finds himself in is due to the words of God which he had found and had eaten. I. The first word he found was, the word of Divine ordination: 'Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, before thy birth I knew thee; and at thy birth I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations'.... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 15:1-21
CHAPTER IXTHE DROUGHT AND ITS MORAL IMPLICATIONSJeremiah 14:1-22; Jeremiah 15:1-21 (17?)VARIOUS opinions have been expressed about the division of these chapters. They have been cut up into short sections, supposed to be more or less independent of each other; and they have been regarded as constituting a well-organised whole, at least so far as the eighteenth verse of chapter 17. The truth may lie between these extremes. Chapters 14, 15 certainly hang together; for in them the prophet... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 15:1-9
Drought, disease and war (14:1-15:9)A severe drought had hit Judah. People in all walks of life, from nobles to farmers, were affected by it, and they covered their heads as a sign of their distress. They had difficulty in getting enough water to keep themselves alive, and their animals were beginning to suffer from disease. Some had already died because of the lack of food (14:1-6).Pleading on behalf of the people, Jeremiah confesses the nation’s sins. He asks God to cease acting as if he were... read more
