Jeremiah 15:16

Jeremiah 15:16. Thy words were found— Thy words were pure and clean, and I have eaten them: thy words were my delight, and my heart is refreshed on this account, because I am called, &c. Houbigant. Jeremiah here declares in what manner he engaged and acquitted himself in his office of prophet. "From the moment that thou didst speak to me, and inspire me with thy Spirit, I opened my mouth, and received thy word greedily, like a man, who, pressed with hunger, finds food which is agreeable to his appetite. I treasured it in my memory; I meditated upon, and inwardly digested it. I found it my satisfaction, my comfort, my joy."
