John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 14:1-21

Jeremiah’s Eighth Prophecy (Reign of Jehoiakim?). The Impending Drought and other WoesDialogue between the prophet and God. He intercedes; but in vain, for the nation persists in sin. In this section we probably see the state of matters in the early part of Jehoiakim’s reign. There is no historical allusion to the drought which formed the occasion of the prophecy. read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 14:1-22

CHAPTER IXTHE DROUGHT AND ITS MORAL IMPLICATIONSJeremiah 14:1-22; Jeremiah 15:1-21 (17?)VARIOUS opinions have been expressed about the division of these chapters. They have been cut up into short sections, supposed to be more or less independent of each other; and they have been regarded as constituting a well-organised whole, at least so far as the eighteenth verse of chapter 17.
