17. hast made . . . heaven--Jeremiah extols God's creative power, as
a ground of humility on his part as man: It is not my part to call Thee,
the mighty God, to account for Thy ways (compare
Jer 12:1).
too hard--In
Jer 32:27
God's reply exactly accords with Jeremiah's prayer
(Ge 18:14;
Zec 8:6;
Lu 1:37).
