Jeremiah 15:13

Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"Thy substance and thy treasures will I give for a spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders." — Jeremiah 15:13 (ASV)

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.
