Jeremiah 14:7 . O Lord, &c.

Jeremiah 14:8-9. O the hope of Israel That is, the object of Israel’s hope; the Being in whom alone thy people Israel have been wont to hope, or in whom they have just reason to hope; the Saviour thereof in time of trouble Who hast formerly been their Saviour in their distresses, and who alone canst save them in such times of trouble as thou hast now brought them into; why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land?

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 14:1-22
Drought, disease and war (14:1-15:9)A severe drought had hit Judah. People in all walks of life, from nobles to farmers, were affected by it, and they covered their heads as a sign of their distress.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 14:7
JEREMIAH'S PRAYER FOR ISRAEL"Though our iniquities testify against us, work thou for thy name's sake, O Jehovah; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee. O thou hope of Israel, the Saviour thereof in the time of troubles, why shouldest thou be as a sojourner in the land?, and as a way-faring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night? Why shouldest thou be as thou, O Jehovah, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not."Some have wondered if the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 14:7
Jeremiah 14:7. Do thou it for thy name's sake— Do thou act with a regard to thine own name. That is, deal not with us according to our deserving, but so as not to give occasion to strangers to speak evil of thy name, to question thy power, wisdom, or goodness. So God says, Eze 22:31 that amidst the various provocations he had received, he had still acted uniformly upon this principle. read more
