Jeremiah 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 ) .

Jeremiah 15:20 In-Context

18 Why is my pain unceasing, my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? Truly, you are to me like a deceitful brook, like waters that fail.
19 Therefore thus says the Lord: If you turn back, I will take you back, and you shall stand before me. If you utter what is precious, and not what is worthless, you shall serve as my mouth. It is they who will turn to you, not you who will turn to them.
20 And I will make you to this people a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you, but they shall not prevail over you, for I am with you to save you and deliver you, says the Lord.
21 I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.
