The Pulpit Commentary on Jeremiah 14:7

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The intercession of Jeremiah begins. Do thou it; a pregnant expression, equivalent to "act gloriously" (as Psalms 22:31; Isaiah 44:23); For thy name's sake. Jehovah s" Name pledges him to be merciful to his people, and not to make a full end of them, even when they have offended (comp."

Our Redeemer was thy name from of old" Isaiah 63:16).
