Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

All Commentaries on Jeremiah 17:18 Go To Jeremiah 17

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849

Let them be confounded Such expressions as these in the writings of the prophets, are not to be understood as imprecations proceeding from malice or desire of revenge, but as prophetic predictions of evils that were about to fall upon impenitent sinners, and approbations of the ways of the divine justice. (Challoner) The prophet has already prevented this objection, ver. 16. (Haydock)
