Jeremiah 32:16 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

I prayed unto the Lord. — The prophet, it is obvious, records his own prayer. Nowhere, perhaps — the prayer of Ezra (Ezra 9:5-15), of Hezekiah (Isaiah 37:16-20), of Daniel (Daniel 9:4-19), being the nearest parallels — do the writings of the Old Testament present us with so striking an example of the manner in which a devout Israelite poured out his heart to God, dwelling on the greatness of His attributes — praying for himself, interceding for his people.
