Jeremiah 17:12
Compare all
10 I, the Lord, asearch the heart,
I test the1 mind,
bEven to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings. 
11 “As a partridge that1 broods but does not hatch,
So is he who gets riches, but not by right;
It awill leave him in the midst of his days,
And at his end he will be ba fool.” 
12 A glorious high throne from the beginning
Is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O Lord, athe hope of Israel,
bAll who forsake You shall be ashamed.
“Those who depart from Me
Shall be cwritten in the earth,
Because they have forsaken the Lord,
The dfountain of living waters.” 

Jeremiah Prays for Deliverance

14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
Save me, and I shall be saved,
For aYou are my praise. 
15 Indeed they say to me,
a“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it come now!”

Jeremiah 17:12

A glorious high throne - As he is cursed who trusts in man, so he is blessed who trusts in God. He is here represented as on a throne in his temple; to him in the means of grace all should resort. He is the support, and a glorious support, of all them that trust in him.
