Contextual Overview
4And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, 5"Before I form you in the belly, I have known you; and before you come forth from the womb I have separated you; I have made you a prophet to the nations." 6And I say, "Aah! Lord YHWH! Behold, I have not known—to speak, for I [am] a youth." 7And YHWH says to me, "Do not say, I [am] a youth, for to all to whom I send you—go, and all that I command you—speak. 8Do not be afraid of their faces, for I [am] with you to deliver you," a declaration of YHWH.9And YHWH puts forth His hand, and strikes against my mouth, and YHWH says to me, "Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. 10See, I have charged you this day concerning the nations, and concerning the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Be not afraid of their faces,.... Their stern looks, their frowning brows, and angry countenances, which would threaten him with destruction and death:
for I am with thee, to deliver thee, saith the Lord; out of their hands, when in the most imminent danger. The Targum paraphrases the words thus,
"my Word shall be thine help to deliver thee:''
which is true of Christ, the essential Word of God.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 1:8. Be not afraid of their faces — That is, the Jews, whom he knew would persecute him because of the message which he brought. To be fore-warned is to be half armed. He knew what he was to expect from the disobedient and the rebellious, and must now be prepared to meet it.
