Exegesis
The verse begins with the interrogative particle ha-yesh {הֲיֵשׁ | ha-yēš} ‘is there’, framing a rhetorical question that underlines the incapacity of idols.
In context — Jeremiah 14:22
Is there anyone among the vanities of the nations who causes rain, or can the heavens give showers? Is it not You, LORD our God ? Therefore we hope in You, for You are the One who made all these things.
