Commentary on Jeremiah 8:18

Theological / Devotional

My heart is faint. The Hebrew of the first part of the verse is obscure. It is clear, however, that the heart of the prophet was crushed by the hopeless condition of his people. Chapter 8 closes with an outpouring of Jeremiah’s heart-rending anguish because of the impending national calamities.
