Reader! pause over this account. Recollect how Jeremiah was called to the prophet's office: Chap. 1:5. Recollect the long and painful office he had now exercised, and the universal disregard he found to all his preaching: and then behold how sadly he was requited! When you have duly pondered these things, call to mind that more or less, these are the marks of a faithful minister in God's sanctuary in all ages. Numbers 16:3; Acts 23:1-2. Nay, look to Jesus under the same, John 18:22-23.
