Jeremiah 15:1-21 ESV

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:1

1. Though Moses and Samuel By their intercessions they had repeatedly saved the people from impending danger, (Exodus 32:11-14; Exodus 17:11; Numbers 14:13, etc.; 1 Samuel 7:9; 1 Samuel 12:17; Psalms 99:4,) but now even such holy men as these would not succeed. Cast them out of my sight As if they had come along with their representative, the prophet, and were waiting without while he had gone into the holy place to plead for them. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:1-9

JEREMIAH’S PRAYER REFUSED, Jeremiah 15:1-9. Here again we have an example of unfortunate chapter division. The connexion between the last verses of the preceding chapter and the opening portion of the present chapter is most intimate. To break it by one of the great chapter divisions is misleading. In the concluding portion of the preceding chapter the prophet’s prayer is urgent and importunate; here we have a still more emphatic refusal. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:2

2. If they ask where they are to go, Jeremiah is to say: To their fate. And the choice will be, indeed, among grim alternatives death, sword, famine, and captivity. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:4

4. Removed Rather, a terror. Furst, Nagelsbach, Keil, Syriac, render it maltreated. Manasseh See 2 Kings 21:1-16. The name of the pious and illustrious father sets off with terrible emphasis that of his godless and unworthy son. Though Manasseh lived a hundred years before this, the evil consequences of his wicked reign were still extant. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:5

5. Who shall have pity, etc. Who if not Jeremiah? In rejecting him the people were sacrificing their last friend influential with God. How like to the after conduct of descendants of this very people in crucifying the Son of God. read more

7. Will fan, etc. The verb is a preterite used prophetically. Gates of the land Frequently used in the sense of cities, but here in the more ordinary sense of places of ingress and egress. The sense of the verse is: With my winnowing shovel I will drive the people out of the land. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:8-9

8, 9. This destruction is so sweeping that widows are increased… above the sand of the seas… mother of the young men Literally, the young man, the word which is so rendered meaning young warrior. The picked warriors have fallen; so that though she has borne seven sons she is now defenceless against the spoiler. Noonday When one least looks for an attack. Caused him to fall upon it Rather, I caused to fall upon her (namely, the mother of the young men) anguish and terrors. Sun... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:10

THE PROPHET IS CORRECTED AND COMFORTED, Jeremiah 15:10-21. 10. Woe is me Here begins the complaint of the prophet and the answer of Jehovah, in a conversation which constitutes the remainder of the chapter. “Woe is me,” my mother! The deep pathos of this language shows that it was no light burden of duty which Jeremiah was bearing. The language suggests that of Job, in which he cursed the day of his birth, (Job 3:3, etc.,) but is entirely different in spirit. What gives Jeremiah such... read more
