“But, O Lord of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.”
The prayer for vindication: 'But you, LORD Almighty, who judge righteously and test the heart and mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for to you I have committed my cause.' This verse presents Jeremiah's prayer: he appeals to God as 'judge righteously,' asks to 'see your vengeance' on his enemies, and commits his 'cause' to God. The appeal for vengeance indicates the prophet's desire for vindication. Theologically, this verse indicates that Jeremiah, though the victim of persecution, looks to God for justice.
