Jeremiah represents the Lord. (Arcana Coelestia 2838[2]).

In Jeremiah 13:7, Jeremiah here signifies the state of the church. (Divine Love and Wisdom 15[4]).

In Jeremiah 38:6, his representation is that same as Joseph's when he was thrown into the pit by his brothers -- that divine truths were rejected by falsities. (Arcana Coelestia 4728).

Hands in the Bible represent power, the force with which things are put into action. To be specific, they represent the power of spiritual good -- which is the love of others and serving others -- expressed through spiritual truth -- which is an understanding and knowledge of what it is to love and serve others. This is in contrast to the feet, which represent power on the natural level, and a “rod,” which represents the power of the hand passed down into external or natural ideas. In a few cases in the Bible, hands also represent communication and a drawing together. This is true when people lift their hands to heaven or to Jehovah, and also when the Lord touches children or touches people to heal them.
