Context of Jeremiah 15:13

11The Lord said, "Have I not set you free for their good? Have I not pleaded for you before the enemy in the time of trouble and in the time of distress? 12Can one break iron, iron from the north, and bronze? "Your wealth and your treasures I will give as spoil, without price, for all your sins, throughout all your territory. 14I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you do not know, for in my anger a fire is kindled that shall burn forever." 15O Lord, you know; remember me and visit me, and take vengeance for me on my persecutors. In your forbearance take me not away; know that for your sake I bear 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
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 10-14Verses 10-14 Jeremiah met with much contempt and reproach, when they ought to have blessed him, and God for him.

• 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). If it refers to Judah's future, the prediction came true with the fall of Jerusalem and the Exile.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1313. Thy substance ... sins--Judea's, not Jeremiah's. without price--God casts His people away as a thing worth naught (Psa 44:12). 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
