Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 18:19

"Give heed to me, O Jehovah, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me." — Jeremiah 18:19 (ASV)

Give heed to me ... —This is the prophet’s answer to the resolve of the people, “Let us not give heed.” He appeals in the accents of a passionate complaint to One who will heed his words. The opening words are almost as an echo of Psalm 35:1.
