Jeremiah 15:13

Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

Thy substance - will I give to the spoil without price - Invaluable property shall be given up to thy adversaries. Or, without price - thou shalt have nothing for it in return.

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

Jeremiah is personally addressed in the verse, because he stood before God as the intercessor, representing the people.

(1) God would give Judah‘s treasures away for nothing; implying that He did not value them.

(2) the cause of this contempt is Judah‘s sins.

(3) this is justified by Judah having committed them throughout her whole land.

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary
Jeremiah met with much contempt and reproach, when they ought to have blessed him, and God for him. It is a great and sufficient support to the people of God, that however troublesome their way may be, it shall be well with them in their latter end. God turns to the people. Shall the most hardy and vigorous of their efforts be able to contend with the counsel of God, or with the army of the Chaldeans? Let them hear their doom. The enemy will treat the prophet well. But the people who had great estates would be used hardly. All parts of the country had added to the national guilt; and let each take shame to itself.
