Commentary
Commentary on Jeremiah 14:9
Theological / DevotionalAstonied. Or, “astounded,” “perplexed.” The LXX renders the opening clause, “Wilt thou be as a man asleep?”
In the midst. Jeremiah’s conquering faith assures him that God is not, as v. 8 implies, like a passing “wayfaring man” (see v. 8), but that the Lord ever abides loyally among His people. The prophet confidently knows that though the Lord delays action, He, “as a mighty man,” will save His own.
