19 Give heed to me, O Lord, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
19 Listen to me, Lord; hear what my accusers are saying!
19 Hear me, O Lord, and listen to the voice of my adversaries.
19 And I said to God: "God, listen to me! Just listen to what my enemies are saying.
19 Give heed to me, O Lord, And listen to the voice of those who contend with me!
19 Lord, hear me and help me! Listen to what my enemies are saying.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 18:19
Commentary on Jeremiah 18:18-23
(Read Jeremiah 18:18-23)
When the prophet called to repentance, instead of obeying the call, the people devised devices against him. Thus do sinners deal with the great Intercessor, crucifying him afresh, and speaking against him on earth, while his blood is speaking for them in heaven. But the prophet had done his duty to them; and the same will be our rejoicing in a day of evil.
