[1] {dearth}
The significance of a drought at this time was very great. It was one of
the signs predicted in the Palestinian Covenant
# De 28:23,24
and already fulfilled in part in the reign of Ahab.
# 1Ki 17:1
etc. As that sign had been followed, even though after a long
interval, by the Assyrian captivity of the northern kingdom, it should
have been received by Judah as a most solemn warning.

[1] {the Lord said}
The Remnant, of whom Jeremiah was the representative, are carefully
distinguished from the unbelieving mass of the people. The coming
captivity, which they must share, for they too have sinned
# Jer 15:13
though Jehovah's judgment upon the nation, will be but a purifying
chastisement to them, and they receive a special promise
# Jer 15:11,
Verses
# Jer 15-18
give the answer of the Remnant to verses
# Jer 15:11-14
Two things characterize the believing Remnant always-loyal to the word
of God, and separation from those who mock at that word
# Jer 15:16,17
Cf.
# Re 3:8-10

[1] {saying}
The sign of the unmarried prophet is interpreted by the context. The
whole social life of Judah was about to be disrupted and cease from the
land. But note the promises of verses
# Jer 16:14-16 17:7,8
