Gill's Notes on the Bible
For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father,.... The men of Anathoth;
even they have dealt treacherously with thee; by laying schemes, and consulting methods, to take away his life privately; his enemies were those of his own house; which is oftentimes the case of good men, and especially of such that are in public office:
yea, they have called a multitude after thee; a multitude of men, which they gathered together, and instigated to call after him in a clamorous and reproachful way: or,
they called after thee with a full voice, as the Vulgate Latin z version renders it; and which De Dieu approves of; they not only gathered a mob about him, and drew men after him, but they hooted him as he went along, and called aloud after him, giving him the most reproachful names they could think of:
believe them not, though they speak fair words to thee; this must be understood of some of them, who did not appear so openly against him, as to call after him, or gather a mob about him; but of such who pretended to be his friends, and to have respect for him, and yet had evil designs against him, and therefore were not to be trusted; their words were not to be believed; their company to be shunned; nor was he safe in their houses; nor was it safe for him to be with them, to eat with them, or converse with them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Yahweh rebukes Jeremiahâs impatience, showing him by two proverbial sayings, that there were still greater trials of faith in store for him. Prosperous wickedness is after all a mere ordinary trial, a mere ârunning with the footmen;â he will have to exert far greater powers of endurance.
And if in the land ... - Rather, âand in a land of peace thou art secure; but how wilt thou do amid the pride of Jordan?â if thou canst feel safe only where things are tranquil, what wilt thou do in the hour of danger? The âpride of Jordanâ is taken to, mean the luxuriant thickets along its banks, famous as the haunt of lions (compare Jeremiah 49:19; Jeremiah 50:44; Zechariah 11:3). What will the prophet do when he has to tread the tangled maze of a jungle with the lions roaring round him?
Jeremiah 12:6
Called a multitude - Rather, âcalled aloud.â Compare Jeremiah 4:5. In all this Jeremiah was the type of Christ (compare Zechariah 13:6; Mark 3:21; John 7:5).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 12:6. For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father — Thou hast none to depend on but God: even thy brethren will betray thee when they have it in their power.
Believe them not — Do not trust to them; do not commit thyself to them; they are in heart thy enemies, and will betray thee.
