Jeremiah 15:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 15:1

The Lord Will Not Relent

1 Then the Lord said to me, ^a“Even if ^bMoses and ^cSamuel stood before Me, My mind would not be favorable toward this people. Cast them out of My sight, and let them go forth.

2 And it shall be, if they say to you, ‘Where should we go?’ then you shall tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord:
^a“Such as are for death, to death;
And such as are for the sword, to the sword;
And such as are for the famine, to the famine;
And such as are for the ^bcaptivity, to the captivity.” ’

3 “And I will ^aappoint over them four forms of destruction,” says the Lord: “the sword to slay, the dogs to drag, ^bthe birds of the heavens and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.

4 I will hand them over to ^atrouble, to all kingdoms of the earth, because of ^bManasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem.

5 “For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem?
Or who will bemoan you?
Or who will turn aside to ask how you are doing?

6 ^aYou have forsaken Me,” says the Lord,
“You have ^bgone backward.
Therefore I will stretch out My hand against you and destroy you;
^cI am¹ weary of relenting!

7 And I will winnow them with a winnowing fan in the gates of the land;
I will ^abereave them of children;
I will destroy My people,
Since they ^bdo not return from their ways.

8 Their widows will be increased to Me more than the sand of the seas;
I will bring against them,
Against the mother of the young men,
A plunderer at noonday;
I will cause anguish and terror to fall on them ^asuddenly.

9 “She^a languishes who has borne seven;
She has breathed her last;
^bHer sun has gone down
While it was yet day;
She has been ashamed and confounded.
And the remnant of them I will deliver to the sword
Before their enemies,” says the Lord.
