Jeremiah 1:17. Thou therefore gird up thy loins, -
"Thou hast a hard task before thee, Jeremiah, a stern life’s work cut out for thee; ‘therefore gird up thy loins,’ " -
Jeremiah 1:17. And arise, -
"There must be no waiting, no idleness: ‘Arise,’ " -
Jeremiah 1:17. And speak unto them all that I command thee:
"Do not trim it at all, or pare it down, or omit distasteful portions; but ‘speak unto them all that I command thee.’"
Jeremiah 1:17. Be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.
We ought to be so afraid of God that we are afraid of nobody else. "Fear him, ye saints, and you will then have nothing else to fear." Send all your fears to heaven, and there let them stop.
