“Ngunit ikaw, bigkisan mo ang iyong baywang, tumindig ka, at sabihin mo sa kanila ang lahat ng iniuutos ko sa iyo. Huwag kang masindak sa kanila, baka sindakin kita sa harap nila.”
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“So you, gird up your loins, etc.” [1:17]. You Jeremiah, strongly gird up your loins, stand up and speak to them everything that I have commanded you. You should have no fear before them. That is to say, do not be afraid and you will believe that I can protect you. However, if you will be afraid, then I will make you fearful.
Rashi
