Verse 9
The prophet wondered why God was behaving like someone who, upon witnessing a catastrophe, was so dismayed that he just stood there with his mouth open and did nothing to help. God’s lack of aid was especially surprising since He dwelt among His people and they were His chosen people. Jeremiah besought Yahweh not to forsake them.
"There could hardly be a stronger set of pleas than those that the prophet pours out here: not only the reproaches of Jeremiah 14:8-9 a but the positive considerations that surround them, which are a model for any prayer of penitence." [Note: Kidner, p. 66.]
