Jeremiah 20:11 meaning and explanation
But the LORD is with me like a fearsome warrior. Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail. Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly put to shame, with an everlasting disgrace that will never be forgotten.
Jeremiah 20:11, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Jeremiah speaks these words after being beaten and put in the stocks by Pashhur, the chief official of the temple, and after voicing his complaint that God had deceived and overpowered him (verses 7 to 10). Surrounded by whispering crowds and friends watching for his fall, he turns in trust to the LORD, calling him a fearsome warrior, a phrase drawn from the warrior title used of God in Israel's worship.
