We have here the prophet mourning unmanfully. Jeremiah affords an instance, that he, like all others of Adam's race, partook of the common stock of corruption. Alas! how unsuitable and unbecoming is it, in men of grace to complain. Jeremiah thought so in a cooler moment; See his Lamentations 3:39. Poor Job before him, had vented his sorrow in a language unbecoming, Job 3:2-19. And Jeremiah as if pleased with those angry expressions, repeated them with still stronger language, Jeremiah 20:14-18. Alas! what is man, even the best of men, even a Prophet; consecrated from the womb to be a prophet of the Lord? Jeremiah 1:5. Oh! precious, precious Lord Jesus, to whom shall we look but to thee; whose whole nature was holy, harmless, undefiled; separate from sinners and made higher than the heavens, Hebrews 7:26.
