Jeremiah 15:13-14

13, 14. These verses are repeated in Jeremiah 17:3-4.

Thy substance Jeremiah’s, as representing the people. The general meaning of the verses last preceding is substantially as follows: God will take care of his servant, and will give him deliverance from the strait place in which he now is, and will even cause the enemy to supplicate him. (Jeremiah 15:11.) As one proof of this, he mentions the improbability that the Chaldean power will relent, (Jeremiah 15:12,) and so the prophetical character of Jeremiah will be vindicated by his words coming fearfully true. And still further extending the thought, he says (Jeremiah 15:13) that the substance of the people is to be cast away as worthless, because of their sins.
