This phrase emphasizes the importance of God's reputation and character. In the ancient Near Eastern context, a deity's name was closely tied to their honor and power. The Israelites appeal to God's name, which represents His holiness, faithfulness, and mercy. This plea is rooted in the understanding that God's actions reflect on His character, as seen in other scriptures like <a href="/psalms/25-11.htm">Psalm 25:11</a> and <a href="/ezekiel/20-9.htm">Ezekiel 20:9</a>, where God's name is invoked for mercy and deliverance. The Israelites are asking God to act in a way that upholds His reputation among the nations.do not disgrace Your glorious throne. The "glorious throne" refers to God's sovereign rule and His presence among His people, symbolized by the temple in Jerusalem. In the historical context, the temple was the center of worship and a symbol of God's covenant with Israel. The plea not to disgrace His throne is a request for God to maintain His presence and favor with Israel, despite their unfaithfulness. This reflects the understanding that God's throne is not just a seat of power but a place of divine justice and mercy, as seen in <a href="/psalms/89-14.htm">Psalm 89:14</a>.Remember Your covenant with us; The covenant mentioned here is likely the Mosaic Covenant, which established Israel as God's chosen people with specific laws and promises. This plea is a reminder of the binding agreement between God and Israel, where God promised to be their God and they His people (<a href="/exodus/19-5.htm">Exodus 19:5-6</a>). The Israelites are appealing to God's faithfulness to His promises, a theme echoed in other scriptures like <a href="/deuteronomy/7-9.htm">Deuteronomy 7:9</a> and <a href="/2_chronicles/6-14.htm">2 Chronicles 6:14</a>. The covenant is central to Israel's identity and relationship with God.do not break it. This phrase underscores the seriousness of the covenant relationship. While God is always faithful, the Israelites express their fear of divine abandonment due to their own unfaithfulness. Historically, Israel's repeated disobedience led to consequences, including exile. However, the plea here is for God to remain steadfast, highlighting the tension between divine justice and mercy. This reflects the broader biblical narrative of God's enduring faithfulness despite human failure, as seen in <a href="/lamentations/3-22.htm">Lamentations 3:22-23</a> and <a href="/romans/11-29.htm">Romans 11:29</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a> A major prophet in the Old Testament, known for his messages of warning and hope to the people of Judah.

The prophet can make no plea of extenuation, but he can appeal to the character of God, and urge, with a bold anthropomorphism, that mercy is truer to that character than rigorous justice, and that His covenant with Israel pledges Him to that mercy.The throne of thy glory.--This is, of course, the Temple (see <a href="/jeremiah/17-12.htm" title="A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.">Jeremiah 17:12</a>).
