Jeremiah 20:7 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Hast prevailed — Thou prevailedst against me. Jeremiah at first excused himself to God, Jeremiah 1:6, but the Lord prevailed against him replying, Jeremiah 1:7, Say not, I am a child, for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak, Jeremiah 1:9. This is all that is here meant, namely, God's over — ruling him contrary to his own inclinations.

Jeremiah 20:7

7 O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived:b thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.
