15 Hear and pay attention, do not be arrogant, for the Lord has spoken.
15 Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the Lord hath spoken.
15 Hear and give ear; be not proud, for the Lord has spoken.
15 Then I said, Listen. Listen carefully: Don't stay stuck in your ways! It's God's Message we're dealing with here.
15 Hear and give ear: Do not be proud, For the Lord has spoken.
15 Listen and pay attention! Do not be arrogant, for the Lord has spoken.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 13:15
Commentary on Jeremiah 13:12-17
(Read Jeremiah 13:12-17)
As the bottle was fitted to hold the wine, so the sins of the people made them vessels of wrath, fitted for the judgments of God; with which they should be filled till they caused each other's destruction. The prophet exhorts them to give glory to God, by confessing their sins, humbling themselves in repentance, and returning to his service. Otherwise they would be carried into other countries in all the darkness of idolatry and wickedness. All misery, witnessed or foreseen, will affect a feeling mind, but the pious heart must mourn most over the afflictions of the Lord's flock.
