Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 6:15

Theological / Devotional

Were they ashamed? “They” refers to the impudent spiritual leaders. If they had been ashamed of their monstrous wickedness, there would have been hope. But they were utterly callous, “past feeling” (Eph. 4:19), beyond the reach of the Holy Spirit.

Blush. Compare chs. 3:3; 8:12. Shamelessness is indicative of a seared conscience.

Visit. Here with the meaning “to punish” (see on v. 6).
