Jeremiah 6:15 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

They are brought to shame because

They have “committed abomination:”

Shame nevertheless they feel not;

To blush nevertheless they know not;

“Therefore they shall fall among” the falling;

“At the time” when “I visit them, they shall” stumble,

“Saith Yahweh.”

The fact is expressed that their conduct was a disgrace to them, though they did not feel it as such. “Abomination” has its usual meaning of idolatry Jeremiah 4:1.

Jeremiah 6:15

15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
