Contextual Overview

⁴ Here is the word of Adonai that came to me: ⁵ "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I separated you for myself. I have appointed you to be a prophet to the nations." ⁶ I said, "Oh, Adonai Elohim , I don't even know how to speak! I'm just a child!" ⁷ But Adonai said to me, "Don't say, ‘I'm just a child.' "For you will go to whomever I send you, and you will speak whatever I order you. ⁸ Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you, says Adonai , to rescue you." ⁹ Then Adonai put out his hand and touched my mouth, and Adonai said to me, "There! I have put my words in your mouth. ¹⁰ Today I have placed you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and to tear down, to destroy and to demolish, to build and to plant."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying. Not in the days of Jehoiakim, but in the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah, Jeremiah 1:2. The Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions read, "unto him".

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This history of Jeremiah’s call to his office formed a part of his first address to the people. He claimed to act by an external authority, and to speak not his own words but those of Yahweh; and this even when resisting the divine call (see Jeremiah 15:13; Jeremiah 20:7, Jeremiah 20:14-18).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 1:4. The word of the Lord came unto me — Then I first felt the inspiring influence of the Divine Spirit, not only revealing to me the subjects which he would have me to declare to the people, but also the words which I should use in these declarations.
