Context of Jeremiah 15:13
11Jehovah said, Verily I will strengthen thee for good; verily I will cause the enemy to make supplication unto thee in the time of evil and in the time of affliction. 12Can one break iron, even iron from the north, and brass? Thy substance and thy treasures will I give for a spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders. 14And I will make them to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not; for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you. 15O Jehovah, thou knowest; remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered reproach.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13Jeremiah 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.Read the comment

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…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 13-14It is unclear if the Lord was speaking about Jeremiah's future or Judah's future. If about Jeremiah, this prediction came true after Jerusalem fell in 586 BC, when Jeremiah and Baruch were taken to Egypt against their will (see Jeremiah 41–44).

So, on the contrary, Jehovah, when about to restore His people, says, He will give Egypt, &c., for their "ransom" (Is 43:3). even in all thy borders--joined with "Thy substance ... treasures, as also with "all thy sins," their sin and punishment being commensurate (Jr 17:3).Read the comment
