Jeremiah 17:12
God's Justice Acknowledged; The Prophet's Appeal to God.In these verses, Jeremiah spends time alone with God, thinking deeply and praying. He praises God for His justice and holiness and asks God for help and comfort. Jeremiah also shares his pain about the people’s stubbornness and their refusal to listen to God’s warnings. He remains faithful to his calling, even when others mock or threaten him, and he asks God for strength and protection to continue his work.v. 12: Jeremiah honors the special privilege God gave His people. He says, A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. The temple in Jerusalem was a sign of God’s presence and rule. It was God’s throne on earth, making Jerusalem the city of the great King. This was a reason for the people to value and respect God’s worship and their relationship with Him.
