Definitions for Jeremiah 6:15
Barnes's Jeremiah 6:15 Bible Commentary
They are brought to shame because
They have "committed abomination:"
Shame nevertheless they feel not;
To blush nevertheless they know not;
"Therefore they shall fall among" the falling;
"At the time" when "I visit them, they shall" stumble,
"Saith Yahweh."
The fact is expressed that their conduct was a disgrace to them, though they did not feel it as such. "Abomination" has its usual meaning of idolatry Jeremiah 4:1.
Wesley's Jeremiah 6:15 Bible Commentary
6:15 Committed - Both by encouraging the people, and joining with them in their idolatries.
