Jeremiah 17:16

I have not refused Thy call of me to be a prophet (Jonah 1:3), however painful to me it was to utter what would be sure to irritate the hearers (Jeremiah 1:4, etc.).; therefore Thou shouldest not forsake me (Jeremiah 15:15, etc.).

to follow thee—literally, "after thee"; as an under-pastor following Thee, the Chief Shepherd (Ecclesiastes 12:11; I Peter 5:4).

neither . . . desired—I have not wished for the day of calamity, though I foretell it as about to come on my countrymen; therefore they have no reason for persecuting me.

thou knowest—I appeal to Thee for the truth of what I assert.

that which came out of my lips—my words (Deuteronomy 23:23).

right before thee—rather, "was before Thee"; was known to Thee— (Proverbs 5:21).



Jeremiah 17:14-18

Prayer of the prophet for deliverance from the enemies whom he excited by his faithful denunciations.

Heal . . . save—not only make me whole (as to the evils of soul as well as body which I am exposed to by contact with ungodly foes, Jeremiah 15:18), but keep me so.

my praise—He whom I have to praise for past favors, and therefore to whom alone I look for the time to come.
