Jeremiah 1:6
Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth

 Jeremiah 1:6

 Was it an excuse?
A youth, his objection is that he is not yet a man according to ancient Israelite standards; he is still under 20, quite likely 12–16 years old at the time of his calling. Jeremiah’s protestation that he does not know how to speak parallels Moses’ objection in Exod 3:10.

His distinction as a boy is similar to Samuel’s call in 1 Sam 3:1–14.

Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.” But he said, “Oh, my Lord, please send someone else.” Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses and he said, “Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Behold, he is coming out to meet you, and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.

Jeremiah 32:17Helpful? Yes No

Jeremiah 1:7
But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; (no excuse) for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.

 
  Jeremiah 1:7 You will go. The instruction by God presents Jeremiah as a royal envoy: He is commissioned to relay God’s decrees to whomever He designates.

You will speak the expression forms a parallel with the ideal prophet like Moses in Deut 18:18. Jeremiah’s calling is a fulfillment of this divinely appointed office.

In ourselves, we are a child and unable to do anything. But we are not in ourselves. We are in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and we are not coming out. There are many times this scripture is referred to. We should be saying; I will go to all that He sends me, and I will speak His Word with power and signs following (Mark 16:20).

But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul. Again, if a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits injustice, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because you have not warned him, he shall die for his sin, and his righteous deeds that he has done shall not be remembered, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the righteous person not to sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning, and you will have delivered your soul.”

 Jeremiah 15:16
Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart,
for I am called by your name, O Yahweh Elohim Tsebaoth.

 
  Jeremiah was a faithful messenger for the Lord despite tremendous persecution. How did he do it? The foundation of his faith and faithfulness was God’s Word. God’s Word was the joy and the rejoicing of his heart. If we will love God’s Word more than the things of this life, we will be faithful to God and His purpose for our lives too (John 17:17).
 

Jeremiah 15:16 I ate them A poetic reference to Yahweh putting His words in Jeremiah’s mouth for him to speak. Compare Jer 1:9; Ezek 2:8–3:3.

Therefore thus says the Lord: “If you return, I will restore you, and you shall stand before Me. If you utter what is precious,
and not what is worthless, you shall be as My mouth. They shall turn to you, but you shall not turn to them.

 Jeremiah had been lamenting his ministry and the pain it caused him (Jeremiah 15:16-18). The rejection was so bad that at one time, Jeremiah said he wouldn’t speak out God’s judgments anymore (Jeremiah 20:9). Here, the Lord said that if Jeremiah would turn from his complaining and return back to the message and calling the Lord had given him, then the Lord would protect him. He would have to quit listening to the complaints and criticisms of those who were coming under judgment. They could come over to his way of thinking, but he was not to go over to their way of thinking.

[Therefore thus saith the LORD ...] The 35th prophecy in Jeremiah (Jer. 15:19-21, fulfilled). Next, Jer. 16:1.

Six Predictions -- Fulfilled:

1. If you return to Me I will bring you again, and you will stand before Me (Jer. 15:19).

2. If you take forth the precious from the vile, you will be as My mouth.

3. I will make you unto this people a defensed wall (Jer. 15:20).

4. They will fight against you but they will not prevail against you.

5. I am with you and will save you and deliver you from them.

6. I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked and out of the hand of the terrible (Jer. 15:21).

These statements were made to Jeremiah, assuring him of protection from his enemies and promising preservation through all that he was to endure for the sake of Jehovah.

b [but return not thou unto them] God finally advised the prophet to let them come to him if they wanted to hear any more truth, and told him not to return to them or force his message upon them. The Lord predicted a fight between Jeremiah and the rulers and people in which he would be like a brazen wall which they could not overcome; furthermore, He promised to save His servant from all the wicked and terrible men who were his enemies (Jer. 15:20-21).

 Jeremiah 23:29
Is not my word like fire, declares the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

 
 A person speaking the true Word of God is like a fire or a hammer that breaks into pieces all the false prophecies of the ungodly. There is an anointing on God’s Word that no carnal word can compete with. If we will speak God’s Word, then God will make that word fire and the people wood, and it shall devour them (Jeremiah 5:14).

[Is not my word like as a fire ... like a hammer] Two symbols of the Word of God:

1. Like a fire, a great purifier which destroys all that is false and leaves only the genuine metal.

2. Like a hammer which rouses and strengthens the life and conscience, crushing everything that is evil within the heart. See Twelve Symbols of the Word of God.

As the “fire” consumes the “chaff” (Je 23:28), so “My word” will consume the false prophets (Mt 3:12; Heb 4:12). “My word” which is “wheat” (Je 23:28), that is, food to the true prophet and his hearers, is a consuming “fire,” and a crushing “hammer” (Mt 21:44) to false prophets and their followers (2 Co 2:16).

The Word of the false prophets may be known by its promising men peace in sin. “My word,” on the contrary, burns and breaks the hard-hearted (Je 20:9). The “hammer” symbolizes destructive power (Je 50:23; Na 2:1, Margin).
