Contextual Overview

15You know, Lord;remember me and take note of me.Avenge me against my persecutors.In your patience, don’t take me away.Know that I suffer disgrace for your honor. 16Your words were found, and I ate them.Your words became a delight to meand the joy of my heart,for I bear your name,Lord God of Armies. 17I never sat with the band of revelers,and I did not celebrate with them.Because your hand was on me, I sat alone,for you filled me with indignation. 18Why has my pain become unending,my wound incurable,refusing to be healed?You truly have become like a mirage to me—water that is not reliable. 19Therefore, this is what the Lord says: 20Then I will make you a fortified wall of bronzeto this people.They will fight against youbut will not overcome you,for I am with youto save you and rescue you. 21I will rescue you from the power of evil peopleand redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked,.... The wicked Jews, Zedekiah and his courtiers, who imprisoned him:

and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible; as kings and great men of the earth seem to be; or, "the violent", or "strong" t, and mighty; that were stronger than he, that would use him with violence, and inject terror into him.

t עריצים "violentorum", Junius Tremellius, Piscator, Cocceius, Schmidt "fortium", V. L.
