Jeremias 15:20 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 15:20

And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall,
&c.] As he had promised him, when he first called him to his office, ( Jeremiah 1:18 ) , and so would not be as a liar to him: and they shall fight against thee;
by words and blows, by menaces and imprisonment: but they shall not prevail against thee;
so as to cause him to call in his words, and contradict his prophecies; or so as to take away his life: for I am with thee, to save thee, and deliver thee, saith the Lord;
the presence of God with his ministers is sufficient to save and deliver them out of all their troubles, and to protect and defend them against all their enemies; see ( Matthew 28:20 ) .
