A Promise of Victory, Not Peace
Commentators, particularly John Calvin, stress that God's promise of victory is not a promise of a peaceful life. Jeremiah was guaranteed to face intense opposition. The promise wasn't to prevent conflict, but to ensure that despite the fight, his enemies would not ultimately prevail. This encourages believers to have courage in trials, not to expect an absence of them.
