Jeremías 15:13

13 Sin que a ellos les cueste nada,
entregaré tus riquezas y tesoros
a tus enemigos como botín,
porque el pecado corre desenfrenado en tu tierra.

Jeremías 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.

Jeremías 15:13 In-Context

11 El Señor
respondió:
—Yo cuidaré de ti, Jeremías;
tus enemigos te pedirán que ruegues a su favor
en tiempos de aflicción y angustia.

12 ¿Puede un hombre quebrar una barra de hierro que proviene del norte
o una barra de bronce?

13 Sin que a ellos les cueste nada,
entregaré tus riquezas y tesoros
a tus enemigos como botín,
porque el pecado corre desenfrenado en tu tierra.

14 Les diré a tus enemigos que te lleven
cautivo a una tierra extranjera.
Pues mi enojo arde como un fuego
que quemará para siempre.

15 Luego dije:
—S
, tú sabes lo que me sucede.
Por favor, ayúdame. ¡Castiga a mis perseguidores!
Por favor, dame más tiempo; no dejes que muera joven.
Es por tu causa que sufro.
