Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 15:7

_ _ fan — tribulation — from tribulum, a threshing instrument, which separates the chaff from the wheat (Matthew 3:12).

_ _ gates of the land — that is, the extreme bounds of the land through which the entrance to and exit from it lie. Maurer translates, “I will fan,” that is, cast them forth “to the gates of the land” (Nahum 3:13). “In the gates”; English Version draws the image from a man cleaning corn with a fan; he stands at the gate of the threshing-floor in the open air, to remove the wheat from the chaff by means of the wind; so God threatens to remove Israel out of the bounds of the land [Houbigant].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 15:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 15:7

A fan — Not a purging fan by affliction, to separate their chaff and dross from them, but a scattering fan. In the gates — This is added in pursuit of the metaphor of fanning, men usually chusing barn — doors to fan at, that they may have the advantage of the wind.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 15:7

And I will fan them with a fan (f) in the gates of the land; I will bereave [them] of children, I will destroy my people, [since] they return not from their ways.

(f) Meaning, the cities.
