Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 14:7

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

7. do thou it —what we beg of Thee; interpose to remove the drought. Jeremiah pleads in the name of his nation ( Psalms 109:21 ). So "work for us," absolutely used ( Psalms 109:21- : ). for thy name's sake —"for our backslidings are so many" that we cannot urge Thee for the sake of our doings, but for the glory of Thy name; lest, if Thou give us not aid, it should be said it was owing to Thy want of power ( Joshua 7:9 ; Psalms 79:9 ; Psalms 106:8 ; Isaiah 48:9 ; Ezekiel 20:44 ). The same appeal to God's mercy, "for His name's sake," as our only hope, since our sin precludes trust in ourselves, occurs in Psalms 25:11 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-8" class="com-number"
