The broken pot (19:1-20:6)In another acted parable Jeremiah, carrying an earthenware pot in his hand, took the leaders of Jerusalem to a place outside the city walls where old pottery was dumped. This was in the valley where the Judeans once sacrificed their children to Molech and carried out other pagan rites (19:1-2; see 7:30-34 and section, ‘Tophet and the Valley of Hinnom’).Through their leaders, the people of Judah are told that in this valley, where they have killed their children, they... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 20:4

4. terror . . . to all thy friends—who have believed thy false promises ( :-). The sense must be in order to accord with "fear round about" (Jeremiah 20:3). I will bring terror on thee and on all thy friends, that terror arising from thyself, namely, thy false prophecies. Thou and thy prophecies will be seen, to the dismay both of thee and thy dupes, to have caused their ruin and thine.
