Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 15:13

"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)

Thy substance and thy treasures ... —Assuming the words stand in their right place, we must look on them as addressed to Jeremiah as the intercessor, and therefore the representative, of his people. If we admit a dislocation, of which there seem to be many signs, we may connect them with Jeremiah 15:5-6, and then they are spoken to Jerusalem. The recurrence of the words in Jeremiah 17:3-4, as addressed to the mountain of the plain, i.e., Zion, makes this probable.

Without price. —As in Psalms 44:12; Isaiah 52:3, this implies the utmost abandonment. The enemies of Israel were to have an easy victory, for which they would not have to pay the usual price of blood; nor did God, on His part, demand from them any payment for the victory He bestowed. He gave away His people as men give what they consider worthless.
