Jeremiah 18:19 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 18:19

Give heed to me, O Lord
To his prayer, since his enemies would not give heed to his prophecies; and God does give heed to the cries and complaints of his ministers, when men will not give heed to their words and doctrines; they have a God to go to, who will hear them, when men despise them: and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me;
hear their reproaches and rantings, their blasphemies and evil speakings, their lies and falsehoods, and judge between me and them; let it appear who is in the right; vindicate my cause, and plead with them that plead against me.

19 Listen attentively to me, [O] Yahweh, and listen to [the] voice of my opponents.
