Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 15:15

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

15. thou knowest —namely, my case; what wrongs my adversaries have done me ( :- ). revenge me —(See on :- ). The prophet in this had regard to, not his own personal feelings of revenge, but the cause of God; he speaks by inspiration God's will against the ungodly. Contrast in this the law with the gospel ( Luke 23:34 ; Acts 7:60 ). take me not away in thy long-suffering —By Thy long-suffering towards them, suffer them not meanwhile to take away my life. for thy sake I have suffered rebuke —the very words of the antitype, Jesus Christ ( Psalms 69:7 ; Psalms 69:22-28 ), which last compare with Jeremiah's prayer in the beginning of this verse. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-16" class="com-number"
