Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 14:12

_ _ not hear — because their prayers are hypocritical: their hearts are still idolatrous. God never refuses to hear real prayer (Jeremiah 7:21, Jeremiah 7:22; Proverbs 1:28; Isaiah 1:15; Isaiah 58:3).

_ _ sword ... famine ... pestilence — the three sorest judgments at once; any one of which would be enough for their ruin (2 Samuel 24:12, 2 Samuel 24:13).
