A Reaffirmed Promise
Commentators note that this promise is a direct repetition of God's words at Jeremiah's initial calling (Jeremiah 1:18). This is significant because it comes after Jeremiah's deep despair. God is not offering a new plan but reaffirming His original commitment, calling the prophet to return to his work with renewed trust in God's unchanging faithfulness.
