Jérémie 15:14 BDS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 15:10-14

Jeremiah has now returned from his public work and retired into his closet; what passed between him and his God there we have an account of in these and the following verses, which he published afterwards, to affect the people with the weight and importance of his messages to them. Here is, I. The complaint which the prophet makes to God of the many discouragements he met with in his work, Jer. 15:10. 1. He met with a great deal of contradiction and opposition. He was a man of strife and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 15:14

And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies ,.... Not Jeremiah, but the Jews, to whom these words are continued. The meaning is, that they should go along with the Chaldeans out of their own land into theirs: into a land which thou knowest not ; the land of Babylon; and there is another reading of the words in the margin, "I will cause thee to serve thine enemies F15 והעדתי "et servire faciam". , in a land that thou knowest not"; which is followed by the Targum, Septuagint,... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:14

Verse 14 He pursues the same subject. He had said, that they would be exposed as a prey to their enemies, so that all their wealth would be plundered with impunity: he now adds, I will deliver you to the enemy, that is, I will give you into the hands of your enemies, that they may remove you ejsewhere. He afterwards mentions a circumstance, which must have rendered exile much worse; for when any one changes his place and is not led to a distance, the evil is more tolerable; but when any one is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 15:10-21

These verses come in very unexpectedly, and are certainly not to be regarded as a continuation of the preceding discourse. They describe some deeply pathetic moment of the prophet's inner life, and in all probability belong to a later period of the history of Judah. At any rate, the appreciation of the next chapter will be facilitated by reading it in close connection with Jeremiah 15:9 of the present chapter. But the section before us is too impressive to be east adrift without an attempt... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 15:13-14

Thy substance , etc. These verses form an unlooked-for digression. The prophet has been in a state of profound melancholy, and the object of Jehovah is to rouse him from it. In Jeremiah 15:11 , Jeremiah 15:12 , the most encouraging assurances have been given him. Suddenly comes the overwhelming declaration contained in Jeremiah 15:13 , Jeremiah 15:14 . And when we look closely at these verses, two points strike us, which make it difficult to conceive that Jeremiah intended them to... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 15:13-14

Jeremiah 15:13-14. Here God turns his speech from the prophet to the people. Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil All thy riches and precious things shall be spoiled: there shall be no price taken for the redemption of them. For all thy sins in all thy borders All parts of the country, even those which lay most remote, had contributed to the national guilt, and all shall be brought to account. And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies, &c. They shall stay... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 15:10-21

Jeremiah’s anguish; God’s comfort (15:10-21)The prophet again complains to God because of the unjust treatment he suffers. He has done no harm to the people, and in fact has pleaded on their behalf for God’s mercy upon them, yet they hate him. They are angered at his attacks on their sin and his forecasts of judgment. Their hearts are as hard as iron (10-12). God’s word is that the Judeans will be invaded, plundered and taken captive (13-14).Knowing that God is understanding, Jeremiah asks that... read more
