Jeremiah 17:14 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Jeremiah 17:14

12 A glorious high throne from the beginning
Is the place of our sanctuary.

13 O Lord, ^athe hope of Israel,
^bAll who forsake You shall be ashamed.
“Those who depart from Me
Shall be ^cwritten in the earth,
Because they have forsaken the Lord,
The ^dfountain of living waters.”

Jeremiah Prays for Deliverance

14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
Save me, and I shall be saved,
For ^aYou are my praise.

15 Indeed they say to me,
^a“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it come now!”

16 As for me, ^aI have not hurried away from being a shepherd who follows You,
Nor have I desired the woeful day;
You know what came out of my lips;
It was right there before You.

17 Do not be a terror to me;
^aYou are my hope in the day of doom.

18 ^aLet them be ashamed who persecute me,
But ^bdo not let me be put to shame;
Let them be dismayed,
But do not let me be dismayed.
Bring on them the day of doom,
And ^cdestroy them with double destruction!

Hallow the Sabbath Day

19 Thus the Lord said to me: “Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;

20 and say to them, ^a‘Hear the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter by these gates.

Prayer of the prophet for deliverance from the enemies whom he excited by his faithful denunciations.

Heal . . . save—not only make me whole (as to the evils of soul as well as body which I am exposed to by contact with ungodly foes, Jeremiah 15:18), but keep me so.

my praise—He whom I have to praise for past favors, and therefore to whom alone I look for the time to come.
