Jeremiah 14:8

Yahweh had been Israel’s hope (cf. Jeremiah 17:7; Jeremiah 17:13; Jeremiah 50:7; Psalms 71:5; Joel 3:16; Acts 28:20; Colossians 1:27; 1 Timothy 1:1) and her Savior in times of distress (cf. 2 Samuel 22:3; Psalms 106:21; Isaiah 43:3; Isaiah 43:11; Isaiah 45:15; Isaiah 49:26; Isaiah 60:16; Hosea 13:4). But now He was acting like a stranger or a passing traveler. Such people normally have little real concern for the land through which they travel and the locals around them.
