Jeremiah 1:8 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Be not afraid of their faces: for I [am] with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

Ver. 8. Be not afraid of their faces.] Look they never so big, as did Henry VIII upon Latimer and upon Lambert, who yet told him his own; as did Stephen Gardiner upon Dr Taylor, martyr, but had as good as he brought. a The majesty of a man, as also his wrath, showeth itself in his countenance; and young men especially are apt to be baffled and dashed with fierce looks.

For I am with thee to deliver thee.] On one sort or another; thy crown, be sure, no man shall take from thee; thy perpetual triumph thou shalt not lose.

a Acts and Mon.
