Faithful, Yet Falsely Accused
Commentators highlight the deep injustice Jeremiah faced. His accusers twisted his prophetic faithfulness into a charge of treason, refusing to listen to his defense. Scholars like John Calvin note this is a common trial for God's servants: their good deeds and words are often misconstrued, and they must bear such slander patiently, trusting in their clear conscience before God.
