Commentary on Jeremiah 1:9

Theological / Devotional

Touched my mouth. After the call of the prophet, came this solemn act of consecration, symbolizing the communication of new powers of thought and utterance. Thus touched upon his lips (see Isa. 6:6, 7), Jeremiah was assured that there would be no uncertainty as to his message. He was to go forth to speak the words put into his heart by the Spirit of God (see Jer. 5:14; 15:16; cf. Isa. 51:16; 59:21; Matt. 10:20; 2 Peter 1:21).
