Jeremiah 18:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 18:15

13 Therefore thus says the Lord:
^a“Ask now among the Gentiles,
Who has heard such things?
The virgin of Israel has done ^ba very horrible thing.

14 Will a man¹ leave the snow water of Lebanon,
Which comes from the rock of the field?
Will the cold flowing waters be forsaken for strange waters?

15 “Because My people have forgotten ^aMe,
They have burned incense to worthless idols.
And they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways,
From the ^bancient paths,
To walk in pathways and not on a highway,

16 To make their land ^adesolate and a perpetual ^bhissing;
Everyone who passes by it will be astonished
And shake his head.

17 ^aI will¹ scatter them ^bas with an east wind before the enemy;
^cI will show them the back and not the face
In the day of their calamity.”

18 Then they said, ^a“Come and let us devise plans against Jeremiah; ^bfor the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come and let us attack him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.”

19 Give heed to me, O Lord,
And listen to the voice of those who contend with me!
