See commentary on Jeremiah 1:4-10.


Jeremiah 1:9

_ _ touched my mouth — a symbolical act in supernatural vision, implying that God would give him utterance, notwithstanding his inability to speak (Jeremiah 1:6). So Isaiah’s lips were touched with a living coal (Isaiah 6:7; compare Ezekiel 2:8, Ezekiel 2:9, Ezekiel 2:10; Daniel 10:16).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 1:4-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes
