So now, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who poses as a prophet among you?
We have perused the contents of Jeremiah's letter to the captives in Babylon, who had reason, with a great deal of thanks to God and him, to acknowledge the receipt of it, and lay it up among their treasures. But we cannot wonder if the false prophets they had among them were enraged at it; for it gave them their true character.
Commenting on Jeremiah 29:24-32
Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth,.... Not by words only, but by actions; by beating and scourging, by pillory or imprisonment, and so restraining him from prophesying to the people: which maketh himself a prophet unto you?
of Anathoth--said contemptuously, as "Jesus of Nazareth." maketh himself--as if God had not made him one, but he himself had done so.
