Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerses 16-25. - Jeremiah obeys the Divine command, but is so besieged by misgivings that he applies for a further revelation of God's purposes.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) I prayed unto the Lord.--The prophet, it is obvious, records his own prayer. Nowhere, perhaps--the prayer of Ezra (Ezra 9:5-15), of Hezekiah (Isaiah 37:16-20), of Daniel (Daniel 9:4-19), being the nearest parallels--do the writings of the Old Testament present us with so striking an example of the manner in which a devout Israelite poured out his heart to God, dwelling on the greatness of His attributes--praying for himself, interceding for his people.
