Jeremiah 12:15 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 12:15

And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out,
&c.] Not the Jews only, but more especially their neighbouring nations; after they have been plucked up and carried captive, and been in captivity some time: I will return, and have compassion on them;
or, "have compassion on them again" F9; by returning their captivity, as is promised, ( Jeremiah 48:47 ) ( Jeremiah 49:6 Jeremiah 49:39 ) : and I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man
to his land;
this seems to respect the conversion of the Gentiles in the latter day, when the fulness of them shall be brought in; as the latter part of the preceding verse may more especially regard the conversion of the Jews at the same time, when they shall be gathered out of all nations where they are, and return to their own land.

Jeremiah 12:15 In-Context

13 "They have sown wheat and have reaped thorns, They have strained themselves to no profit. But be ashamed of your harvest Because of the fierce anger of the LORD ."
14 Thus says the LORD concerning all My wicked neighbors who strike at the inheritance with which I have endowed My people Israel, "Behold I am about to uproot them from their land and will uproot the house of Judah from among them.
15 "And it will come about that after I have uprooted them, I will again have compassion on them; and I will bring them back, each one to his inheritance and each one to his land.
16 "Then if they will really learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, 'As the LORD lives,' even as they taught My people to swear by Baal, they will be built up in the midst of My people.
17 "But if they will not listen, then I will uproot that nation, uproot and destroy it," declares the LORD .
