Commentary on Jeremiah 20:3–62 voices
“Magor-missabib - See Jer 6:25 note. Jeremiah uses it no less than five times, having probably adopted it as his watchword from Psa 31:13.”
Albert Barnes · Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
“It seems to be a proverbial expression, bespeaking a man not only in distress but in despair, not only in danger on every side (that a man may be and yet by faith may be in no terror, as David, Ps. iii. 3 ), but in fear on every side, and that a man may be when there appears no danger. The wicked flee when no man pursues, are in great gear where no fear is.”
Matthew Henry · Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
