Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 15:11

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

11. Verily —literally, "Shall it not be?" that is, "Surely it shall be." thy remnant —the final issue of thy life; thy life, which now seems to thee so sad, shall eventuate in prosperity [CALVIN]. They who think that they shall be the surviving remnant, whereas thou shalt perish, shall themselves fall, whereas thou shalt remain and be favored by the conquerors [JUNIUS], ( Jeremiah 40:4 ; Jeremiah 40:5 ; Jeremiah 39:11 ; Jeremiah 39:12 ). The Keri reads, "I will set thee free (or as MAURER, 'I will establish thee') for good" ( Jeremiah 14:11 ; Ezra 8:22 ; Psalms 119:122 ). to entreat thee well —literally, "to meet thee"; so "to be placable, nay, of their own accord to anticipate in meeting thee with kindness" [CALVIN]. I prefer this translation as according with the event ( Jeremiah 39:11 ; Jeremiah 39:12 ; Jeremiah 40:4 ; Jeremiah 40:5 ). GESENIUS, from Jeremiah 7:16 ; Jeremiah 27:18 ; Job 21:15 , translates (not only will I relieve thee from the enemy's vexations, but) "I will make thine enemy (that now vexeth thee) apply to thee with prayers " ( Jeremiah 38:14 ; Jeremiah 42:2-6 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-12" class="com-number"
