John Gill Commentary Jeremiah 15:14

"And 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." — Jeremiah 15:14 (ASV)

And I will make you to pass with your enemies
Not Jeremiah, but the Jews, to whom these words are continued. The meaning is, that they should go along with the Chaldeans out of their own land into theirs: into a land which you know not ;
the land of Babylon; and there is another reading of the words in the margin, "I will cause you to serve your enemies ^F15 , in a land that you know not"; which is followed by the Targum, Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions. Some render the words, "I will bring your enemies from, or through, a land that you know not" ^F16 ; the place from where they came, and those through which they came, being at a great distance: for a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn upon you ;
meaning the wrath of God, compared to fire, which was kindled and excited by their sins, and which would continue upon them until it had destroyed them.
