Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 15:4

Theological / Devotional

To be removed. Literally, “for a trembling,” or “for a terror,” that is, a people that will be despised by other nations (see 2 Chron. 29:8; see on Deut. 28:25). “Into all kingdoms” is literally, “to all kingdoms.”

Because of Manasseh. The recent and evil reign of this wicked king (see 2 Kings 21:1-18) was still fresh in the minds of the people. The persistence of the people in following the example of this evil king was the cause of their present distress. The mention of righteous King Hezekiah emphasized the contrast in character between father and son.
