Jeremiah 15:14 NLT,NIV,ESV

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 15:10-14

We have here the prophet mourning unmanfully. Jeremiah affords an instance, that he, like all others of Adam's race, partook of the common stock of corruption. Alas! how unsuitable and unbecoming is it, in men of grace to complain. Jeremiah thought so in a cooler moment; See his Lamentations 3:39 . Poor Job before him, had vented his sorrow in a language unbecoming, Job 3:2-19 . And Jeremiah as if pleased with those angry expressions, repeated them with still stronger language, Jeremiah... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:10-14

10-14 Jeremiah met with much contempt and reproach, when they ought to have blessed him, and God for him. It is a great and sufficient support to the people of God, that however troublesome their way may be, it shall be well with them in their latter end. God turns to the people. Shall the most hardy and vigorous of their efforts be able to contend with the counsel of God, or with the army of the Chaldeans? Let them hear their doom. The enemy will treat the prophet well. But the people who had... read more

The Prophet's Lamentation v. 10. Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! that is, one with whom the whole world, all men with whom he came into contact, were anxious to pick a quarrel. I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury, he had neither borrowed nor lent, either practice being a sure way of arousing enmity, yet every one of them doth curse me, all of them being his enemies without cause. v. 11. The... read more

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

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

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:10-14

Jeremiah Too Feels That He Has Been Born To Affliction And Strife But Is Comforted By YHWH As He Outlines The Future That Lies Ahead, Including The Invasion From The North (Jeremiah 15:10-14 ). The thought of the mothers who have borne their sons only for them to die turns Jeremiah’s thoughts to his own situation, equally terrible in his eyes. Is his mother any better off? She may not have physically lost him but she has borne him only for him to cause strife and contention worldwide, and... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:12-14

But Jeremiah Is To Recognise That His Prayers Will Not Alter What Must Inevitably Happen And The Total Desolation Of Judah (Jeremiah 15:12-14 ). Jeremiah 15:12 “Can one break iron, Even iron from the north, and bronze?” But their supplication to Jeremiah would be in vain, because the future was already determined and would not be altered. Nothing could break the iron coming from the north accompanied by its bronze allies. They were powerful, unbreakable, invincible, and relentless, and they... read more
