But, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.
O Lord of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart - (Revelation 2:23, "All the churches shall know that I am He which searcheth the reins and hearts").
Unto thee have I revealed my cause - committed my cause. Jeremiah's wish for vengeance, "Let me see thy vengeance upon them," was not personal, but ministerial, and accorded with God's purpose revealed to him against the enemies alike of God and of His servant (Psalms 37:34; Psalms 54:7; Psalms 112:8; Psalms 118:7).
