Verse 22

Yahweh was the only source of rain, not the idols or the astral deities, so Jeremiah’s hope was in Him. He had brought calamity, and He alone could bring blessing.

"His [Jeremiah’s] appeals were directed to: (1) a tender physician-’Hath thy soul loathed Zion? Why . . . is no healing for us?’ (Jeremiah 14:19); (2) a forgiving God-’We have sinned against thee’ (Jeremiah 14:20); (3) an honor-preserving throne-’Do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us’ (Jeremiah 14:21); (4) an omnipotent Creator-’We will wait for thee’ to bring rain and showers, ’for thou hast made all these things’ (Jeremiah 14:22)." [Note: Jensen, p. 52.]
