Jeremiah 14:22 - Exposition

None of the vanities, or false gods ( Jeremiah 3:17 ), of the heathen can deliver us in this our strait (want of rain). "Rainmakers" is still a common name of soothsayers among savage nations. Thou alone art God , and our God ; or, in Jeremiah's phrase (not, Art not thou he , etc.? but) Art thou not Jehovah our God? and the ground of the appeal follows, Jehovah is the Maker of all these things ; i.e. all the heavenly phenomena, especially the clouds and the rain.
