Jeremias 14:7 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 14:7

O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us
That we deserve such judgments to be inflicted on us; and that God is righteous in bringing them; and we are altogether undeserving of the favour now about to be asked. These are the words of the prophet interceding for his people, and confessing their sins and his own: do thou it for thy name's sake;
that is, give rain; which was the thing wanted, and which none but God could give, ( Jeremiah 14:22 ) though we are not worthy to have it done for our sakes, do it for thine own sake; for the honour and glory of thy name, of thy goodness, power, and faithfulness: for our backslidings are many;
and so had many witnesses against them; and which shows how unworthy they were, and that they had no reason to expect the mercy on their own account; and especially as it follows: we have sinned against thee;
as all sin is against God, contrary to his nature and will, and a transgression of his law; and what aggravates it is, that it is against him as a God of goodness, grace, and mercy.

Jeremias 14:7 In-Context

5 Até mesmo a corça no campoabandona a cria recém-nascida,porque não há capim.

6 Os jumentos selvagens permanecem nos altos,farejando o vento como os chacais,mas a sua visão falha,por falta de pastagem”.

7 Embora os nossos pecados nos acusem,age por amor do teu nome, ó SENHOR!Nossas infidelidades são muitas;temos pecado contra ti.

8 Ó Esperança de Israel,tu que o salvas na hora da adversidade,por que te comportas como um estrangeiro na terra,ou como um viajante que fica somente uma noite?

9 Por que ages como um homem que foi pego de surpresa,como um guerreiro que não pode salvar?Tu estás em nosso meio, ó SENHOR,e nós pertencemos a ti;não nos abandones!
