Jeremiah 13:24,25 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Therefore will I scatter them Separate them from one another, and disperse them abroad in that strange and remote country to which they are carried captive; as the stubble, or chaff, rather, that passeth away by the wind That is dissipated and carried far away by a fierce wind: he adds, of the wilderness, to render the declaration the more emphatical, the chaff being more easily and effectually scattered by the wind in an open place, where there are no houses. This is the portion of thy measures from me What thou wilt receive of my hand; because thou hast forgotten me The favours I have bestowed upon thee, and the obligations thou art under to me: of these thou hast no sense, no remembrance; and trusted in falsehood In idols, in an arm of flesh, in the self-flatteries of a deceitful heart.

Jeremiah 13:24-25

24 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.

25 This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
