Exegesis
The Qal imperfect verb tihyeh {תִֽהְיֶה֙ | tihyeh} ‘will you be’ poses a rhetorical question regarding God’s posture.
In context — Jeremiah 14:9
Why would You be like a man bewildered , like a mighty warrior who cannot save? Yet You are in our midst, LORD , and Your name is called upon us; do not forsake us.
