Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 11:20

_ _ triest ... heart — (Revelation 2:23).

_ _ revealed — committed my cause. Jeremiah’s wish for vengeance was not personal but ministerial, and accorded with God’s purpose revealed to him against the enemies alike of God and of His servant (Psalms 37:34; Psalms 54:7; Psalms 112:8; Psalms 118:7).

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 11:20

But, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy (p) vengeance on them: for to thee have I revealed my cause.

(p) Thus he spoke not out of hatred, but being moved with the Spirit of God, he desires the advancement of God's glory, and the verifying of his word, which is by the destruction of his enemies.
