Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 15:9

9 She that hath born seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost▪ her sun is gone down while it was yet day ; she hath been ashamed and confounded , and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword, before their enemies, saith the LORD .

Seven signifies many, 1 Sam. 2.5. Iob 5.19. The Prophet complains, that Hierusalem or the country of Iudah, that had been very numerous in people, now grew feeble, neither able to maintain those she had born, nor yet to bear more.

In the midst of her prosperity, she became thus miserable.

A part of them were confounded by the Judgments of God which came upon them before their Captivity.

For the remainder of them, (saith God) they shall be destroyed by the sword of the Enemy.
