Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 14:7

7 ¶ O LORD! though our iniquities testifie against us , do thou it for thy names sake : for our backslidings are many, we have sinned against thee .

The Prophet having described their misery, both in the cause of it, the drought for want of rain, and the effects of it, he applieth himself to that God, who he knew was he who alone could give the former and the latter rain; confessing that their sins and backslidings were very many, and testified against them, that they had deserved Gods severe scourge, and God was Righteous in what of this nature he had done against them. But [illegible: 1 letter]et saith he

do thou it ▪ that is, do thou what we desire, and what we stand in need of; give us rain.

Though not for our sake, we deserve no such kindness from thee, yet for thy names sake: thy word or promise, or rather hear for thine honour and glory sake. So Isa. 43.25. & 48.11. where God promiseth them to shew them kindness for his names sake, so as Ieremiahs Prayer is but a pleading of Gods promises, that he would fulfill his word.

For here signifies though, and might have been better so interpreted.
