Jeremiah 14:8

The reference is, not to the faith of Israel which had almost ceased, but to the promise and everlasting covenant of God. None but the true Israel make God their "hope." (Jeremiah 17:13).

turneth aside to tarry—The traveller cares little for the land he tarries but a night in; but Thou hast promised to dwell always in the midst of Thy people (II Chronicles 33:7-8). MAURER translates, "spreadeth," namely, his tent.
