Wanke, Jeremia 1, p. 155, acknowledges the notion of doubt, but tries to generalize it with regard to any praying person. Ittmann, Konfessionen, p. 179, tries to refute the idea by arguing that God does not allow Jeremiah to turn away from him.

Similarly, Rudolph, Jeremia, p. 54; Wanke, Jeremia 1, p. 103. Holladay, Jeremiah 1, p. 293, sees v. 19b as a divine response to the former two questions and thus as an original part of the passage that has a rhetorical effect in transforming the lament into a dialogue.
