Jeremiah 14:9 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Astonished — In such disorder through some great passion, that he is able to do nothing. A mighty man — Like a man who in his own nature is strong, but through sickness so weakened, that he cannot put forth any strength for the succour of his friends. Yet — Yet (saith the prophet) thou art in the midst of us; of the whole land, according to what God had declared, Numbers 5:3, Numbers 35:34. Defile not the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the Lord dwell among the children of Israel.

Jeremiah 14:9

9 Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.
