Jeremías 17:14 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 17:14

Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed
These are the words of the prophet, sensible of his own sins and backslidings, and of the part which he himself had in these corrupt and declining times; and being conscious of his own impotency to cure himself; and being fully satisfied of the power of the Lord to heal him; and being well assured, if he was healed by him, he should be thoroughly and effectually healed; therefore he applies unto him. Sins are diseases; healing them is the forgiveness of them; God only can grant this: or this may have respect to the consolation of him, whose soul was distressed, grieved, and wounded, with the consideration of the sins of his people, and the calamities coming upon them on that account:

save me, and I shall be saved;
with a temporal, spiritual, and eternal salvation; save me from the corruptions of the times, from the designs of my enemies; preserve me to thy kingdom and glory; there are none saved but whom the Lord saves, and those that are saved by him are saved to a purpose; they can never perish:

for thou [art] my praise;
the cause of it, by reason of mercies bestowed; the object of it, whom he did and would praise evermore, because of his favours, particularly the blessings of healing and salvation by him; see ( Psalms 103:1-4 ) .

Jeremías 17:14 In-Context

12 Pero nosotros adoramos frente a tu trono:
¡eterno, puesto en alto y glorioso!

13 Oh Señor
, esperanza de Israel,
serán avergonzados todos los que se alejan de ti.
Serán enterrados en el polvo de la tierra,
porque han abandonado al Señor
, la fuente de agua viva.

14 Oh Señor
, si me sanas, seré verdaderamente sano;
si me salvas, seré verdaderamente salvo.
¡Mis alabanzas son solo para ti!

15 La gente se burla de mí y dice:
«¿Cuál es este “mensaje del Señor
” del que hablas?
¿Por qué no se cumplen tus predicciones?».

16 Señor
, no he abandonado mi labor
como pastor de tu pueblo
ni he insistido que mandes desastres.
Tú has oído todo lo que dije.
