Do not abhor us, for your name's sake, do not disgrace the throne of your glory: remember, break not your covenant with us.
All Commentaries on Jeremiah 14:21 Go To Jeremiah 14
Jerome
AD 420
We should not think that the glorious throne of God is only the throne of the temple, which was repeatedly destroyed, but that it is also every saint who is cast down and destroyed when he offends God by his multitude of sins, according to what is written: “You have cast his throne to the ground.” Nevertheless, the one who perishes from his own guilt is sustained by the clemency of the Lord, whereby the severity of the sentence is altered, lest the Lord invalidate his covenant in which he promised to be our coming salvation.
