Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 14:9

_ _ astonied — like a “mighty man,” at other times able to help (Isaiah 59:1), but now stunned by a sudden calamity so as to disappoint the hopes drawn from him.

_ _ art in the midst of us — (Exodus 29:45, Exodus 29:46; Leviticus 26:11, Leviticus 26:12).

_ _ called by thy name — (Daniel 9:18, Daniel 9:19) as Thine own peculiar people (Deuteronomy 9:29).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 14:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 14:9

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.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 14:9

Why shouldest thou be as a man astonished, as (h) 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.

(h) That takes no care for us.
