Geremia 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.

Geremia 14:9 In-Context

8 O speranza d’Israele, suo salvatore in tempo di distretta, perché saresti nel paese come un forestiero, come un viandante che vi si ferma per passarvi la notte?
9 Perché saresti come un uomo sopraffatto, come un prode che non può salvare? Eppure, o Eterno, tu sei in mezzo a noi, e il tuo nome è invocato su noi; non ci abbandonare!
10 Così parla l’Eterno a questo popolo: Essi amano andar vagando; non trattengono i loro piedi; perciò l’Eterno non li gradisce, si ricorda ora della loro iniquità, e punisce i loro peccati.
11 E l’Eterno mi disse: "Non pregare per il bene di questo popolo.
