Jeremiah 17:14 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Heal me, O Lord, &c. Most interpreters understand the prophet as addressing God here in his own behalf. He represents himself as a person wounded, or sick, either with a sense of the dishonour done to God by the sins of the people, or with their reproaches poured upon himself, and he begs of God to heal him, God only having power to do it. Save me, for thou art my praise It is from thee only that I expect relief and comfort in all my troubles: and as I acknowledge that all the blessings I enjoy come from thee, so it is to thee I return all thanks and praise.

Jeremiah 17:14

14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
