James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 15:1-21

“ IN THE SWELLING OF JORDAN ” God told the prophet worse was to come. The Swelling of Jordan would be experienced later, and in the present lesson, especially towards the close, we have an illustration of it. There are things of interest to look at in the meantime, for example, an illustration of that symbolic teaching mentioned earlier. In chapter 13 we have what two symbols? See Jeremiah 13:1-11 for the first and Jeremiah 13:12-14 for the second. The prophet acted these out before the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 15:1-21

Seven More Questions Jeremiah 15:0 A terrible fate is indicated by these inquiries. The rejection was awful in its completeness and sternness; the tempest of the Lord seemed to break upon the rejected people from all the points of the compass: "I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the Lord: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy" ( Jer 15:3 ). How much it took to make God utter these words the imagination... read more

These judgments had their accomplishment, in the captivity that followed, when the people were carried away to Babylon. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:1-9

1-9 The Lord declares that even Moses and Samuel must have pleaded in vain. The putting of this as a case, though they should stand before him, shows that they do not, and that saints in heaven do not pray for saints on earth. The Jews were condemned to different kinds of misery by the righteous judgment of God, and the remnant would be driven away, like the chaff, into captivity. Then was the populous city made desolate. Bad examples and misused authority often produce fatal effects, even... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 15:1-9

The Lord Refuses help the Second Time v. 1. Then said the Lord unto me, Though Moses and Samuel, who are hereby affirmed to be historical persons, stood before Me, the high regard in which He held these His servants tending to have Him look upon them with favor, yet My mind could not be toward this people, their intercession could not save the people from the threatened destruction. Cast them out of My sight and let them go forth, since Jehovah utterly repudiates His chosen people. v. 2.... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jeremiah 15:1-21

CHAPTER 154. The Second RefusalJeremiah 15:1-41          And Jehovah said unto me:If Moses and Samuel stood before me,Yet my soul is not inclined towards this people:Away with them from my presence! Out with them!2     And if they say to thee: Out whither shall we go?—Then say to them: Thus saith Jehovah:He who is for death to death, he for the sword to the sword,And he who is for famine to famine, and he for captivity to captivity.3     And I appoint over them four kinds, saith Jehovah:The... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 15:1-21

To this great appeal Jehovah again replied by declaring mercy to be impossible, and judgment inevitable, and this on account of the sin of Manasseh which had been persisted in, namely, the rejection of Jehovah by the people. Therefore they had been judged, and judgment must be completed. On hearing this the prophet cried out in great anguish, and Jehovah promised to strengthen him, while reiterating His determination to punish the people. Once again the prophet replied, first in resignation,... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:1-9

Jeremiah Still Feels That He Must Make Some Plea On Behalf Of His People, But Is Firmly Informed That Even Though Moses And Samuel Were There To Plead The Cause Of The People They Would Not Prevail, Because Judgment On His Obstinate people Was Determined (Jeremiah 14:19 to Jeremiah 15:9 ). Jeremiah puts in a desperate plea for his people, unable to believe that YHWH has utterly rejected His people, and acknowledges their sin on their behalf, calling on YHWH not to forget His covenant. For he... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:1-21

Section 5. The Word Concerning The Droughts: The Certainty Of Exile For Judah (Jeremiah 14:1 to Jeremiah 17:27 ). The new section is again introduced by the words ‘The word of YHWH which came to Jeremiah --’ (Jeremiah 14:1) although in slightly altered form (literally ‘that which came, the word of YHWH, to Jeremiah’). “The word concerning the droughts” gives illustrative evidence confirming that the impending judgment of Judah cannot be turned aside by any prayers or entreaties, and that... read more
