Definitions for Jeremiah 14:21
Clarke's Jeremiah 14:21 Bible Commentary
Do not disgrace the throne of thy glory - The temple. Let not this sacred place be profaned by impious and sacrilegious hands.
Break not thy covenant - See Exodus 24:7, Exodus 24:8; Exodus 19:5. They had already broken the covenant, and they wish God to fulfill his part. They ceased to be his people, for they abandoned themselves to idolatry; and yet they wished Jehovah to be their Lord; to defend, support, and fill them with all good things! But when the conditions of a covenant are broken by one of the contracting parties, the other party is not bound; and the covenant is necessarily annulled.
Barnes's Jeremiah 14:21 Bible Commentary
This verse is in the original very emphatic, and consists of a series of broken ejaculations: "Abhor not for thy name's sake! Disgrace - lightly esteem" in Deuteronomy 32:15 - "not the throne of thy glory! Remember! Break not etc. with us!" The throne of Yahweh's glory is Jerusalem.
Wesley's Jeremiah 14:21 Bible Commentary
14:21 The throne - The words are either to be understood of the throne of the house of David, called the Lord's throne, 1 Chronicles 29:23 , or else the temple, and the ark in it, the more special symbol of God's presence.
