Context of Jeremiah 8:13

11They tell my dear people that their wounds are not bad. They say to them, “No problem! You will have peace.” But there will be no peace for my people. 12They are not ashamed of the disgusting things that they do. They do not even know what shame is. They have forgotten how to be ashamed. So they will fall to the ground, as other people have fallen. When I punish them, that will be the end of them.’ That is what the Lord says. The Lord says, ‘I will take away the crops from their fields.’ ‘No figs or grapes will grow on their trees. The leaves on their trees will dry up and die. All the good things that I gave to them will disappear.’ 14The people say: ‘We should not sit here and do nothing. We must all go together into our strong cities. If we have to die, we will die there! The Lord our God has said that we must die. We have done bad things against him. He has decided to punish us with death. He has given us water to drink that has poison in it. 15We wanted to have peace, but nothing good has happened to us. We wanted to rest without trouble, but instead we are afraid.

Commentaries on Jeremiah 8:13

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13Or, “I will gather and sweep them away, saith Jehovah: there are no grapes on the vine, and no figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf is dry: therefore will I appoint those that shall pass over them.” Judah is a vine which bears no fruit: a tree which makes even no profession of life, for her leaf is dry. Many explain the last words of an army sweeping over the land like a flood.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 4-13Verses 4-13 What brought this ruin? 1. The people would not attend to reason; they would not act in the affairs of their souls with common prudence. Sin is backsliding; it is going back from the way that leads to life, to that which leads to destruction. 2. They would not attend to the warning of conscience.
