Jeremiah 20:10
_ _ For — not referring to the words immediately preceding, but to “I will not make mention of Him.” The “defaming” or detraction of the enemy on every side (see Psalms 31:13) tempted him to think of prophesying no more.
_ _ Report ... we will report — The words of his adversaries one to the other; give any information against him (true or false) which will give color for accusing him; and “we will report it,” namely, to the Sanhedrim, in order to crush him.
_ _ familiars — literally, “men of my peace”; those who pretended to be on peaceable terms with me (Psalms 41:9). Jeremiah is a type of Messiah, referred to in that Psalm. (See Jeremiah 38:22; Job 19:19; Psalms 55:13, Psalms 55:14; Luke 11:53, Luke 11:54).
_ _ watched for my halting — (Psalms 35:15, Margin, “halting”; Psalms 38:17; Psalms 71:10, Margin). Gesenius not so well translates, according to Arabic idiom, “those guarding my side” (that is, my most intimate friends always at my side), in apposition to “familiars,” and the subject of “say” (instead of “saying”). The Hebrew means properly “side,” then “halting,” as the halt bend on one side.
_ _ enticed — to commit some sin. |
Jeremiah 20:10
Prevail — Desiring nothing more than that I might be enticed to speak or do something which they might make matter of a colourable accusation. |
Jeremiah 20:10
For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. (f) Report, [say they], and we will report it. All my friends watched for my fall, [saying], Perhaps he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
(f) Thus the enemies conferred together to know what they had heard him say, that they might accuse him of it, read (Isaiah 29:21). |
