Jeremiah 1:8 Meaning and Commentary
Jeremiah 1:8
Be not afraid of their faces
Their stern looks, their frowning brows, and angry countenances, which would threaten him with destruction and death: for I am with thee, to deliver thee, saith the Lord;
out of their hands, when in the most imminent danger. The Targum paraphrases the words thus,
``my Word shall be thine help to deliver thee:''which is true of Christ, the essential Word of God.
