Jeremiah 15:14

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

Render, “And I will make thee serve thine enemies in a land thou knewest not.”

For a fire … - See the marginal reference. The added words show that the punishment then predicted is about to be fulfilled.

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.
