Jeremías 14:9

9 ¿Por qué te encuentras confundido,como un guerrero impotente para salvar?SEÑOR, tú estás en medio de nosotros,y se nos llama por tu nombre;¡no nos abandones!

Jeremías 14:9 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 14:9

Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied
Astonished, and so surprised as not to know what to say or do; or "asleep", as the Septuagint; taking no notice of us, and being altogether unconcerned what becomes of us; or, as one "dumb" ^F9; that will give no answer to our prayers: as a mighty man that cannot save?
who, though he is able to save, yet, through want of a heart or will, does not exert his power: yet thou, O Lord, art in the midst of us;
having his residence and dwelling in the temple at Jerusalem; and therefore was not a stranger and foreigner among them; and this carries in it an entreaty and an argument that he would not in his providence conduct towards them in such manner as though he was: and we are called by thy name;
the people of God, the Israel of God, and the like: leave us not;
in our distress and trouble, but deliver us out of it.

Jeremías 14:9 In-Context

7 Aunque nuestras iniquidades nos acusan,tú, SEÑOR, actúas en razón de tu nombre;muchas son nuestras infidelidades;¡contra ti hemos pecado!

8 Tú, esperanza y salvación de Israelen momentos de angustia,¿por qué actúas en el país como un peregrino,como un viajero que solo pasa la noche?

9 ¿Por qué te encuentras confundido,como un guerrero impotente para salvar?SEÑOR, tú estás en medio de nosotros,y se nos llama por tu nombre;¡no nos abandones!

10 Así dice el SEÑOR acerca de este pueblo:«Les encanta vagabundear;no refrenan sus pies.Por eso yo no los acepto,sino que voy a recordar sus iniquidadesy a castigar sus pecados».

11 Entonces el SEÑOR me dijo: «No ruegues por el bienestar de este pueblo.
