19 They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the Lord.
19 And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee.
19 They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you, for I am with you, declares the Lord, to deliver you."
19 They'll fight you, but they won't even scratch you. I'll back you up every inch of the way." God's Decree.
19 They will fight against you, But they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you," says the Lord, "to deliver you."
19 They will fight you, but they will fail. For I am with you, and I will take care of you. I, the Lord, have spoken!"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 1:19
Commentary on Jeremiah 1:11-19
(Read Jeremiah 1:11-19)
God gave Jeremiah a view of the destruction of Judah and Jerusalem by the Chaldeans. The almond-tree, which is more forward in the spring than any other, represented the speedy approach of judgments. God also showed whence the intended ruin should arise. Jeremiah saw a seething-pot boiling, representing Jerusalem and Judah in great commotion. The mouth or face of the furnace or hearth, was toward the north; from whence the fire and fuel were to come. The northern powers shall unite. The cause of these judgments was the sin of Judah. The whole counsel of God must be declared. The fear of God is the best remedy against the fear of man. Better to have all men our enemies than God our enemy; those who are sure they have God with them, need not, ought not to fear, whoever is against them. Let us pray that we may be willing to give up personal interests, and that nothing may move us from our duty.
