The Pulpit Commentary on Jeremiah 26:12-15

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The defense of the witness for the truth.

I. AN APPEAL TO CONSCIENCE. The message repeated in its baldest form. Its genuineness insisted upon, and its reception earnestly urged upon men. A high moral standpoint is maintained, and there is no compromise or apology. He stands at the bar of human conscience.

II. OBEDIENCE TO LAWFUL AUTHORITY. He hands himself over to them to deal with him as they will; is careful to state his case as God gives him ability; and appeals to no unlawful means of deliverance.

III. REFERENCE OF THE WHOLE MATTER TO GOD. God sent him?봳hat is sufficient. He has been faithful to his instructions; is really not to be judged by man, but leaves all with God.?봎.
