Commentary on Jeremiah 1:18

Theological / Devotional

I have made thee. The “I” stands in contrast to the “thou” of v. 17. In the Hebrew both pronouns are emphatic. The prophet was fearlessly to do his part, and God would do His part by granting the protection and power required.

A defenced city. A symbol of strength and invincibility.
