Jeremiah 6:11

Jeremiah 6:11

9 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“They shall thoroughly glean as a vine the remnant of Israel;
As a grape-gatherer, put your hand back into the branches.”

10 To whom shall I speak and give warning,
That they may hear?
Indeed their ^aear is uncircumcised,
And they cannot give heed.
Behold, ^bthe word of the Lord is a reproach to them;
They have no delight in it.

11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the Lord.
^aI am weary of holding it in.
“I will pour it out ^bon the children outside,
And on the assembly of young men together;
For even the husband shall be taken with the wife,
The aged with him who is full of days.

12 And ^atheir houses shall be turned over to others,
Fields and wives together;
For I will stretch out My hand
Against the inhabitants of the land,” says the Lord.

13 “Because from the least of them even to the greatest of them,
Everyone is given to ^acovetousness;
And from the prophet even to the ^bpriest,
Everyone deals falsely.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Jeremiah 6:10

Jeremiah 6:12 >>

I am full - I am, as it were, filled with the fire of God's wrath, which I am forced to discharge myself of. Abroad - The streets being the places where children are wont to sport. The husband - One sex as well as the other, shall be a prey to the enemy. Full of days - Such as had filled up the number of their days, as were at the edge of the grave.
