Jeremiah Chapter 15 Summary - Key Points & Themes

Read Jeremiah Chapter 15 Summary

Even if Moses and Samuel stood before God, His soul would not turn toward this people. Who will pity Jerusalem? You have forsaken the LORD. God will winnow them with a winnowing fork; their widows will multiply. Jeremiah laments being born as a man of strife. God promises to make him like a bronze wall; He will deliver him from the wicked.
