Jeremiah 15:13

13 Your wealth and your treasures I will give as plunder without price, Because of all your sins, Throughout your territories.

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.

12 Can anyone break iron, The northern iron and the bronze?

14 And I will make you cross over with your enemies Into a land which you do not know; For a fire is kindled in My anger, Which shall burn upon you."

15 O Lord, You know; Remember me and visit me, And take vengeance for me on my persecutors. In Your enduring patience, do not take me away. Know that for Your sake I have suffered rebuke.
