Vers. 19. They shall indeed fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
Vers. 19. They shall indeed fight against thee, but they shall not preuaile against thee; for I am with thee to deliuer thee, saith the Lord.
IN this verse God in a word admonisheth his Prophet, that howsoever he should be fortified with invincible power, yet there were many bickerings prepared for him; lest peradventure he might think to pass over his charge in sport (as they say) Here then he shows wherefore he was likened to a brazen wall, to an iron pillar, and to a City unexpugnable: 1namely, that he might buckle himself manfully to the fight, and not to cast far from him the fears ⟨p. 49⟩of all dangers, combats, or whatsoever might annoy or be tedious to his flesh. To be short, we see whereunto the use of this promise tends, to wit, that Jeremiah being upheld by the aide and power of the Almighty, should not fear to oppose himself against the Jews: for what rage or fury soever it were that possessed them, yet he should not need to be out of heart for all that.
