Jeremiah 15:6You have rejected me, says Yahweh, you have gone backward: therefore have I stretched out my hand against you, and destroyed you; I am weary with repenting.
The setting
Jerusalem, ~605 BC. After 400+ years of patience through judges, kings, and prophets, God declares He's exhausted from giving chance after chance...
The emotion here: devastated at recording Gods exhaustion with his beloved people
The original word
nilʾêtî (נלאיתי) — to be weary, worn out from effort, like someone who's tried everything
Why it matters
From Moses to Jeremiah was roughly 800 years of God calling Israel back
Read with care
What most readers miss in Jeremiah 15:6
God doesn't say 'I don't love you anymore' — He says 'I'm tired of changing my mind about judgment'
Common misconceptionThis isn't about God being unable to forgive — it's about God being tired of Israel's cycle of rebellion-repentance-rebellion. He's worn out from their insincerity, not unable to love.
