Jeremías 15:14

14 Y te haré pasar á tus enemigos en tierra que no conoces: porque fuego se ha encendido en mi furor, y arderá sobre vosotros.

Jeremías 15:14 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 15:14

And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies
Not Jeremiah, but the Jews, to whom these words are continued. The meaning is, that they should go along with the Chaldeans out of their own land into theirs: into a land which thou knowest not;
the land of Babylon; and there is another reading of the words in the margin, "I will cause thee to serve thine enemies ^F15, in a land that thou knowest not"; which is followed by the Targum, Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions. Some render the words, "I will bring thine enemies from, or through, a land that thou knowest not" ^F16; the place from whence they came, and those through which they came, being at a great distance: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you;
meaning the wrath of God, compared to fire, which was kindled and excited by their sins, and which would continue upon them until it had destroyed them.

Jeremías 15:14 In-Context

12 ¿Quebrará el hierro al hierro de la parte de aquilón, y al bronce?

13 Tus riquezas y tus tesoros daré á saco sin ningún precio, por todos tus pecados, y en todos tus términos;

14 Y te haré pasar á tus enemigos en tierra que no conoces: porque fuego se ha encendido en mi furor, y arderá sobre vosotros.

15 Tú lo sabes, oh Jehová; acuérdate de mí, y visítame, y véngame de mis enemigos. No me tomes en la prolongación de tu enojo: sabes que por amor de ti sufro afrenta.

16 Halláronse tus palabras, y yo las comí; y tu palabra me fué por gozo y por alegría de mi corazón: porque tu nombre se invocó sobre mí, oh Jehová Dios de los ejércitos.
