Jeremiah 14:22
_ _ vanities — idols (Deuteronomy 32:21).
_ _ rain — (Zechariah 10:1, Zechariah 10:2).
_ _ heavens — namely, of themselves without God (Matthew 5:45; Acts 14:17); they are not the First Cause, and ought not to be deified, as they were by the heathen. The disjunctive “or” favors Calvin’s explanation: “Not even the heavens themselves can give rain, much less can the idol vanities.”
_ _ art not thou he — namely, who canst give rain? |
Jeremiah 14:22
Rain — The present judgment under which they groan, was a drought, which he had described in the six first verses; the prophet imploring God for the removal of it, argues, from the impossibility of help in this case from any other way, none of the idols of the Heathens, which he calls vain things, nothing in themselves, and of no use, or profit to those that ran after them. Give showers — Without thy will? Art not — Lord, art not thou he alone who is able to do it? The scripture constantly gives God the honour of giving rain. |
Jeremiah 14:22
Are there [any] among the (p) vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? [art] not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these [things].
(p) Meaning their idols, read (Jeremiah 10:15). |
