Jeremiah 15:15

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 15:15-16

Jeremiah 15:15-16. O Lord, thou knowest Thou knowest my sincerity, how faithfully I have declared thy will: or, thou knowest my sufferings, how wickedly my enemies act toward me. It is matter of comfort to us, that, whatever befalls us, we have a God to go to, before whom we may spread our case, and to whose omniscience we may appeal, as the prophet here does. Remember me, and visit me Think upon me for good, and visit me with thy love, while this people are visited with thy wrath. ... read more

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

JEREMIAH RENOUNCES HIS COMMISSION"O Jehovah, thou knowest; remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered reproach. Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by thy name, O Jehovah, God of hosts.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 15:15

15. thou knowest—namely, my case; what wrongs my adversaries have done me ( :-). revenge me—(See on :-). The prophet in this had regard to, not his own personal feelings of revenge, but the cause of God; he speaks by inspiration God's will against the ungodly. Contrast in this the law with the gospel (Luke 23:34; Acts 7:60). take me not away in thy long-suffering—By Thy long-suffering towards them, suffer them not meanwhile to take away my life. for thy sake I have suffered rebuke—the very... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 15:10-18

A collection of Jeremiah’s personal trials and sayings 15:10-20:18This section of text is highly autobiographical.

4. Warnings in view of Judah’s hard heart 15:10-25:38This section of the book contains several collections of Jeremiah’s confessions, symbolic acts, and messages.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 15:15

Jeremiah asked Yahweh, who knows all things, to remember him and to punish his persecutors. He requested that the Lord not allow him to die because he had endured reproach for the Lord’s sake."There is a boldness about such words which only those in a very close relationship with Yahweh may show."
