Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - As a mighty terrible one; rather, as a formidable warrior. They shall not prevail. This was in fact, the Divine promise to Jeremiah at the outset of his ministry (Jeremiah 1:19). For they shall not prosper; rather, because they have not pros-pored.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) But the Lord is with me.--As in Psalms 22 and other like utterances, the prophet, though perplexed. is yet not in despair (2Corinthians 4:8). He passes through the deep waters, but struggles out of them to the rock of refuge. The word "terrible" was used with a special significance. Jehovah had promised to deliver the prophet from the "terrible" ones (Jeremiah 15:21). He, the mighty God (Isaiah 9:6) would now show that He was more terrible than the prophet's foes, that it was better to come under their wrath than His (Isaiah 8:12-13).For they shall not prosper.--Better, because they have not dealt wisely. The word is the same as in Jeremiah 10:21, where see Note. . . .
