Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
Thy words ... I did eat - (Ezekiel 2:8; Ezekiel 3:1; Ezekiel 3:3; Revelation 10:9-10). As soon as thy words were found by me I eagerly laid hold of and appropriated them. "Found" implies that Jeremiah did not receive Gods revelations as mere passive machine, but with the interest and eager delight with which the men in the parable "found the treasure hid in a field," or the "merchant-man seeking goodly pearls found the one pearl of great price" (Matthew 13:44-45). The Qeri' reads, 'thy word.'
Thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart - (Job 23:12; Psalms 119:72; Psalms 119:111: cf. Matthew 13:44.
I am called by thy name - I am thine, thy minister, So the antitype, Jesus Christ (Exodus 23:21).
