‏ Jeremiah 15:12

The Inevitable Judgment

Judgment comes from the north (Jer 15:12). Just as iron and bronze cannot be broken with bare hands, so the people of Judah will not be able to break the power of the Babylonian army. All the wealth and all the treasures will be given to the enemy as booty, without them having to pay anything for it (Jer 15:13). This is the consequence of their sins. The inhabitants will be taken away to an unknown land (Jer 15:14). This fire of judgment that will burn against them has been kindled by the anger of the LORD.
