Contextual Overview

10 Mother, I am sorry that you gave birth to me. I am the one who must accuse and criticize the whole land. I have not loaned or borrowed anything, but everyone curses me. 11 Surely, Lord , I have served you well. In times of disaster and trouble, I prayed to you about my enemies. 12 "Jeremiah, you know that no one can shatter a piece of iron. I mean the kind of iron that is from the north. And no one can shatter a piece of bronze either. 13 The people of Judah have many treasures. I will give these riches to other people. They will not have to buy them, because Judah has many sins. The people sinned in every part of Judah. 14 People of Judah, I will make you slaves of your enemies. You will be slaves in a land that you never knew. I am very angry. My anger is like a hot fire, and you will be burned."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price,.... Not the prophet's substance and treasure; for it does not appear that he had any, at least to require so much notice; but the substance and treasure of the people of the Jews, to whom these words are directed; these the Lord threatened should be delivered into the hands of their enemies, and become a spoil and free booty to them, for which they should give nothing, and which should never be redeemed again:

and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders; this spoiling of their substance should befall them because of their sins, which they had committed in all the borders of their land, where they had built their high places, and had set up idolatrous worship; or else the meaning is, that their substance and treasure in all their borders, in every part of the land, should be the plunder of their enemies, because of their sins.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Jeremiah is personally addressed in the verse, because he stood before God as the intercessor, representing the people.

(1) God would give Judah’s treasures away for nothing; implying that He did not value them.

(2) the cause of this contempt is Judah’s sins.

(3) this is justified by Judah having committed them throughout her whole land.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 15:13. Thy substance - will I give to the spoil without priceInvaluable property shall be given up to thy adversaries. Or, without price - thou shalt have nothing for it in return.
