Jeremiah 15:21 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 15:21

And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked
The wicked Jews, Zedekiah and his courtiers, who imprisoned him: and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible;
as kings and great men of the earth seem to be; or, "the violent", or "strong" ^F20, and mighty; that were stronger than he, that would use him with violence, and inject terror into him.

Jeremiah 15:21 In-Context

19 To this the Lord replied, "If you return, I will take you back, and you will be my servant again. If instead of talking nonsense you proclaim a worthwhile message, you will be my prophet again. The people will come back to you, and you will not need to go to them.

20 I will make you like a solid bronze wall as far as they are concerned. They will fight against you, but they will not defeat you. I will be with you to protect you and keep you safe.

21 I will rescue you from the power of wicked and violent people. I, the Lord, have spoken."
