• {v.15-18} It is the taunt of skepticism. As for Jeremiah, he has no unholy anxiety to see his prophecies of doom fulfilled. He had not desired the woeful day. His own inclinations had not led him to assume the role of a prophet, but God was witness that what he had given utterance to had been in sincerity as it was revealed to him. Jehovah was his hope in the day of evil, when his adversaries would be confounded and dismayed. (“Chapter 8” by H.A. Ironside)
