"Lord. And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.” Jeremiah 6:27 ; 15:20, 21 . PK 419.1"
"I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way."
Ellen White directly references Jeremiah 6:27 in this passage.
"Naturally of a timid and shrinking disposition, Jeremiah longed for the peace and quiet of a life of retirement, where he need not witness the continued impenitence of his beloved nation. His heart was wrung with anguish over the ruin wrought by sin. “O that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears,” he mourned, “that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people! O that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them.” Jeremiah 9:1, 2 . PK 419.2"
"And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest."
Both passages express a longing for escape from difficult circumstances and a desire for peace and solitude. The emotional resonance is strong.
