Jer_11:21 Therefore thus saith the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand:
Ver. 21. Of the men of Anathoth that seek thy life.] Where shall a man find worse friends than at home? A prophet is nowhere so little set by as in his own country. {Mat_13:57} Probatissimuset optimus quisque peregre vivit, saith Ennius, in Cicero. {a}
Saying, Prophesy not in the name of the Lord.] A desperate speech, proceeding from a height of hatred, and coasting upon the unpardonable sin.
{a} Epist. Famil., lib. vii. cap. 6.
