Jeremiah 13:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 13:15

13 “Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land—even the kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem—^awith drunkenness!

14 And ^aI will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together,” says the Lord. “I will not pity nor spare nor have mercy, but will destroy them.” ’ ”

Pride Precedes Captivity

15 Hear and give ear:
Do not be proud,
For the Lord has spoken.

16 ^aGive glory to the Lord your God
Before He causes ^bdarkness,
And before your feet stumble
On the dark mountains,
And while you are ^clooking for light,
He turns it into ^dthe shadow of death
And makes it dense darkness.

17 But if you will not hear it,
My soul will ^aweep in secret for your pride;
My eyes will weep bitterly
And run down with tears,
Because the Lord’s flock has been taken captive.

18 Say to ^athe king and to the queen mother,
“Humble yourselves;
Sit down,
For your rule shall collapse, the crown of your glory.”

19 The cities of the South shall be shut up,
And no one shall open them;
Judah shall be carried away captive, all of it;
It shall be wholly carried away captive.
