Jérémie 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.

Jérémie 15:13 In-Context

11 L'Eternel dit: Certes, tu auras un avenir heureux; Certes, je forcerai l'ennemi à t'adresser ses supplications, Au temps du malheur et au temps de la détresse.
12 Le fer brisera-t-il le fer du septentrion et l'airain?
13 Je livre gratuitement au pillage tes biens et tes trésors, A cause de tous tes péchés, sur tout ton territoire.
14 Je te fais passer avec ton ennemi dans un pays que tu ne connais pas, Car le feu de ma colère s'est allumé, Il brûle sur vous.
15 Tu sais tout, ô Eternel, souviens-toi de moi, ne m'oublie pas, Venge-moi de mes persécuteurs! Ne m'enlève pas, tandis que tu te montres lent à la colère! Sache que je supporte l'opprobre à cause de toi.
