She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while [it was] yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.

Commentary on Jeremiah 15:9

Theological / Devotional

Borne seven. The birth of so many sons indicated ample provision for the future.

Her sun is gone down. Undoubtedly a figure expressing the grief of the mother at being left “ashamed and confounded” because of her lack of sons and heirs (see Gen. 16:4; 30:1, 23; Isa. 54:4; see on Ruth 4:15).
