A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
let not . . . buyer rejoice--because he has bought an estate at a bargain price.

nor . . . seller mourn--because he has had to sell his land at a sacrifice through poverty. The Chaldeans will be masters of the land, so that neither shall the buyer have any good of his purchase, nor the seller any loss; nor shall the latter (Eze 7:13) return to his inheritance at the jubilee year (see Lev 25:13). Spiritually this holds good now, seeing that "the time is short"; "they that rejoice should be as though they rejoiced not, and they that buy as though they possessed not": Paul (Co1 7:30) seems to allude to Ezekiel here. Jer 32:15, Jer 32:37, Jer 32:43, seems to contradict Ezekiel here. But Ezekiel is speaking of the parents, and of the present; Jeremiah, of the children, and of the future. Jeremiah is addressing believers, that they should hope for a restoration; Ezekiel, the reprobate, who were excluded from hope of deliverance.

15 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Houses [01004] and fields [07704] and vineyards [03754] shall be possessed again [07069] in this land [0776].
30 And [2532] they that weep [2799], as [5613] though they wept [2799] not [3361]; and [2532] they that rejoice [5463], as [5613] though they rejoiced [5463] not [3361]; and [2532] they that buy [59], as [5613] though they possessed [2722] not [3361];
13 In the year [08141] of this jubile [03104] ye shall return [07725] every man [0376] unto his possession [0272].
13 For the seller [04376] shall not return [07725] to that which is sold [04465], although they were yet alive [02416]: for the vision [02377] is touching the whole multitude [01995] thereof, which shall not return [07725]; neither shall any [0376] strengthen [02388] himself in the iniquity [05771] of his life [02416].
