Jeremiah 15:6 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Thou hast forsaken me. — The Hebrew word has the stronger sense of rejecting or repudiating as well as simply leaving, and gives the reason for a like rejection on the part of Jehovah.

I am weary with repenting. — The long-suffering of God is described, as before, in anthropomorphic language (comp. 1 Samuel 15:35). He had “repented,” i.e., changed His purpose of punishing, but patience was now exhausted, and justice was weary of the delay, and must take its course. Perhaps, however, I am weary of pitying or of relenting would be a better rendering.

Jeremiah 15:6

6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.
