The Key Word — עָרִ֔יץ, 'a.Ritzgenerated
The Hebrew word עָרִיץ ('a.Ritz) describes someone who is powerful and inspires fear. It is often used to denote a ruthless warrior or champion, emphasizing strength and intimidation in battle contexts.
In this verse, it highlights God's might as a defender, contrasting it with the weakness of Jeremiah's persecutors. The word's usage underscores the assurance that God will act decisively against those who oppose His servant.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against. The BSB uses fearsome warrior, which conveys both strength and intimidation.
Where others part company with the BSB is in the rendering of עָרִ֔יץ. The KJV and ASV choose mighty, while versions like the FBV and ULB opt for powerful, reflecting subtle differences in emphasis on strength.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is governed by the finite verb יִכָּשְׁל֖וּ, they will stumble, with several phrases providing context: a prepositional phrase describing God's presence, a participial phrase about the persecutors, and additional clauses detailing their failure and shame.
The structure emphasizes the contrast between God's might and the vulnerability of Jeremiah's enemies, with the subject of the verse being God, who is depicted as a warrior.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the translation for עָרִיץ is rendered as ἰσξύων, which carries the connotation of strength and power. This choice aligns with the Hebrew meaning but may also suggest an interpretation emphasizing God's capability as a protector.
The translation reflects a consistent understanding of God's role as a mighty defender, reinforcing the theme of divine support in times of distress.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Jeremiah 20:11 expresses Jeremiah's confidence in the LORD as a powerful warrior who stands with him against his persecutors. He assures that those who pursue him will stumble and not succeed, and they will face shame and disgrace that will last forever.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
This means that God is a powerful protector who fights on behalf of His people, ensuring their safety and victory over enemies.
They will stumble because they are opposing God's chosen servant, and their efforts will ultimately fail due to God's intervention.
Everlasting disgrace indicates that the shame faced by Jeremiah's enemies will be permanent, serving as a warning against opposing God's will.
This verse reflects the broader biblical theme of God's protection and justice, similar to promises found in other scriptures like Isaiah 41:10.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) But the Lord is with me.—As in Psalms 22 and other like utterances, the prophet, though perplexed. is yet not in despair (2 Corinthians 4:8). He passes through the deep waters, but struggles out of them to the rock of refuge. The word “terrible” was used with a special significance. Jehovah had promised to deliver the prophet from the “terrible” ones (Jeremiah 15:21). He, the mighty God (Isaiah 9:6) would now show that He was more terrible than the prophet’s foes, that it was better to come under their wrath than His (Isaiah 8:12-13). For they shall not prosper.—Better, because they have not dealt wisely. The word is the same as in Jeremiah 10:21, where see Note. Their everlasting…

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and CollegesCh. Jeremiah 20:7-18. The prophet bitterly complains to God of his lot The passage opens to us the depths of the prophet’s soul, and we see him in intimate converse with God, and possessed now by the emotions of despair, and now by confident hope. We have here the thoughts, as Gi. and Co. observe, which may well have occupied his mind when in confinement, and Jeremiah 20:7-13 at any rate are thus closely connected both in time and subject-matter with Jeremiah 20:1-6. As derision was still the prophet’s fate (Jeremiah 20:7), they can hardly be later than the early part of Jehoiakim’s reign, when the hope that danger would be averted was still prevalent. On the other hand Jeremiah 20:14-18…

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'
יהוה c. 6823 i.e. יַהְוֶה n.pr.dei Yahweh, the proper name of the God of Israel—(1. MT יְהֹוָה 6518 (Qr אֲדֹנָי), or יֱהֹוִה 305 (Qr אֱלֹהִים) 2. Many recent scholars explain יַהְוֶה as Hiph. of הוה (= היה) the one bringing into being, life-giver)
יהוה is not used by E in Gn, but is given Ex 3:12-15 as the name of the God who revealed Himself to Moses at Horeb
יהוה is used with אלהים and suffixes, especially in D
the phrase † אֲנִי יהוה is noteworthy

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
