This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Therefore - connected with Jer 30:13, because “There is none to plead thy cause ... therefore” I will plead thy cause, and heal thy wound, by overwhelming thy foes. This fifteenth verse is inserted to amplify what was said at the close of Jer 30:14. When the false ways of peace, suggested by the so-called prophets, had only ended in the people’s irremediable ruin, the true prophet comes forward to announce the grace of God as bestowing repentance and healing.
devour thee ... be devoured ... spoil ... be a spoil ... prey upon ... give for a prey - retribution in kind (see on Jer 2:3; Exo 23:22; Isa 33:1).
