Commentaries

Matthew Henry's Commentary

32:16-25 Jeremiah adores the Lord and his infinite perfections. When at any time we are perplexed about the methods of Providence, it is good for us to look to first principles. Let us consider that God is the fountain of all being, power, and life; that with him no difficulty is such as cannot be overcome; that he is a God of boundless mercy; that he is a God of strict justice; and that he directs every thing for the best. Jeremiah owns that God was righteous in causing evil to come upon them. Whatever trouble we are in, personal or public, we may comfort ourselves that the Lord sees it, and knows how to remedy it. We must not dispute God's will, but we may seek to know what it means.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown

among other men—not in Israel only, but among foreign peoples also. Compare for "other" understood, Ps 73:5.

made thee a name—(Ex 9:16; 1Ch 17:21; Isa 63:12).
