Jer. 15:4 make them a horror. They will serve as a reminder of God’s wrath for all nations (Deut. 28:25). Manasseh ruled Judah c. 697–642 b.c. He committed idolatry, practiced child sacrifice, used fortune-tellers, and generally led Judah to hate God’s word (2 Chron. 33:1–9). He repented late in life (2 Chron. 33:10–20).

Jer. 15:5 Who? Judah has no allies, and God has left them.

Jer. 15:6 relenting. God is weary of holding back punishment. The people do not change their ways despite the mercy he shows when he relents.

Jer. 15:7 The primary reason for punishment was that they did not turn from their ways.

Jer. 15:9 She who bore seven. A mother with the perfect number of sons losing all she has represents Judah’s reversal of fortunes.

Jer. 15:13–14 Judah’s sins have brought her to the edge of financial ruin and exile.

Jer. 15:15 you know. God has seen Jeremiah’s suffering. take me not away. Jeremiah asks to be spared when death strikes.

Jer. 15:16 Your words were found, and I ate them. As a true prophet, Jeremiah digested, delighted in, and spoke God’s words in God’s name for the people’s good.

Jer. 15:18 a deceitful brook. Jeremiah accuses God of failing to protect him.

Jer. 15:19 If you utter what is precious. God rebukes Jeremiah, urging repentance and faithful, truthful speech about himself. Jeremiah must side with God, not with the people.

Jer. 15:20–21 God repeats his promise to protect (1:17–19). God will deliver Jeremiah, but the promise implies continued persecution.
