[Jeremiah 32:21 reminds us that God is a powerful and mighty God who can deliver us from any situation, just like He did for the Israelites when He brought them out of Egypt with signs and wonders.

By recalling God's past deliverance, we can have hope for our present and future challenges.]

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 32:21

The history of this we have in the eleven or twelve first chapters of Exodus.

Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 32:21

(21-23) And hast brought forth thy people Israel . . .—The verses travel over ground so familiar as to require no comment, but the parallelism with Deuteronomy 26:8, with the other prophetic prayers above referred to, and with Psalms 136:11-12, is significant. The thoughts of all true worshippers moved more or less in the same groove, and clothed themselves in the same language, when they meditated on the past history of their people.
