Jeremiah 15:13

13 Your wealth and belongings I will deliver as plunder, without a fee, because of all your sins throughout your territory.

Jeremiah 15:13 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 15:13

Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil
without price
Not the prophet's substance and treasure; for it does not appear that he had any, at least to require so much notice; but the substance and treasure of the people of the Jews, to whom these words are directed; these the Lord threatened should be delivered into the hands of their enemies, and become a spoil and free booty to them, for which they should give nothing, and which should never be redeemed again: and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders;
this spoiling of their substance should befall them because of their sins, which they had committed in all the borders of their land, where they had built their high places, and had set up idolatrous worship; or else the meaning is, that their substance and treasure in all their borders, in every part of the land, should be the plunder of their enemies, because of their sins.

Jeremiah 15:13 In-Context

11 The LORD said: Haven't I taken care of you? Haven't I helped you with your enemies in time of trouble and distress?
12 Can a person shatter iron, iron from the north, or bronze?
13 Your wealth and belongings I will deliver as plunder, without a fee, because of all your sins throughout your territory.
14 I will make you serve your enemies in a land you don't know, for my anger blazes like a fire that won't go out.
15 You understand, LORD! Remember me and act on my behalf. Bring judgment on those who torment me. In your mercy, spare my life. Consider how I'm insulted on your account.
