Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 15:20-21

_ _ The promise of Jeremiah 1:18, Jeremiah 1:19, in almost the same words, but with the addition, adapted to the present attacks of Jeremiah’s formidable enemies, “I will deliver thee out of ... wicked ... redeem ... terrible”; the repetition is in order to assure Jeremiah that God is the same now as when He first made the promise, in opposition to the prophet’s irreverent accusation of unfaithfulness (Jeremiah 15:18).
