Study note

Setting — Jeremiah addresses God in prayer, positioned between a declaration of God's sovereign counsel and a recounting of the Exodus. The words — The Hebrew אֹתוֹת ('otot) and מֹפְתִים (mofetim) literally mean "signs" and "wonders," paired with the verb שַׂמְתָּ (samta), "you made" or "you caused." The thread — This motif traces to the Exodus confrontations (Exodus 9:16; 10:2) and resurfaces in Israel's later corporate confession (Nehemiah 9:10). Why it lands — The text states God actively performs wonders in Egypt, Israel, and among all nations while establishing His name, requiring a reader to acknowledge His present sovereignty rather than treating past acts as merely historical.
