Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 6:11

Theological / Devotional

Full of the fury. Zeal for God’s cause was figuratively consuming the prophet (see Jer. 4:19; cf. Eze. 3:3).

Weary with holding in. A picture of exhausted patience.

Pour it out. See Jer. 7:20; Rev. 16:1.

Children abroad. All, irrespective of age or sex, would be overwhelmed together, from the children in the streets (“abroad” is literally, “in the street”) to the old and decrepit.

Be taken. That is, be overtaken by the judgment (see Jer. 8:9; cf. Isa. 8:15; etc.).
