Jeremiah 20:11 - Additional Comments

Despite the opposition, Jeremiah knows he is right, and knows God will take care of him. Those opposing him cannot win, for we know God is the One in control. Not only will they fail, but the memory of it will last forever, as we thousands of years later see their failings.
