Jeremiah 15:6

6 tu reliquisti me dicit Dominus retrorsum abisti et extendam manum meam super te et interficiam te laboravi rogans

Jeremiah 15:6 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 15:6

Thou hast forsaken me, saith the Lord
His worship, as the Targum; and had set up idols, and idol worship; and this was the cause of the sword, pestilence, famine, and captivity, and of all the evils that befell them: thou art gone backward;
from the law of the Lord, and from his pure worship and service, from his ways and from his ordinances; and therefore it was but just they should go into captivity; hence it follows: therefore will I stretch out mine hand against thee, and destroy thee;
his hand of power and vengeance, which when stretched out, and falls with weight, whether on particular persons, or on a nation, brings inevitable ruin and destruction with it: I am weary with repenting;
not that the Lord ever changes his mind, or the counsel of his will; in this sense he is without repentance; but the conduct of his providence, and the dispensations of it; not executing the threatenings denounced, but sparing them a little longer, showing mercy, and exercising patience and longsuffering; but now he was as one weary and tired out, and was determined to bear no longer with them, but stir up all his wrath against them, and destroy them.

Jeremiah 15:6 In-Context

4 et dabo eos in fervorem universis regnis terrae propter Manassem filium Ezechiae regis Iuda super omnibus quae fecit in Hierusalem

5 quis enim miserebitur tui Hierusalem aut quis contristabitur pro te aut quis ibit ad rogandum pro pace tua

6 tu reliquisti me dicit Dominus retrorsum abisti et extendam manum meam super te et interficiam te laboravi rogans

7 et dispergam eos ventilabro in portis terrae interfeci et perdidi populum meum et tamen a viis suis non sunt reversi

8 multiplicatae sunt mihi viduae eius super harenam maris induxi eis super matrem adulescentis vastatorem meridie misi super civitates repente terrorem
