Lucius Caecilius Firmianus Lactantius, on Jer 12:7
Lucius Caecilius Firmianus Lactantius · c. A.D. 240–317
Jer 12:7 · Douay-Rheims
“I have forsaken my house, I have left my inheritance: I have given my dear soul into the land of her enemies.”
On this verse:
“Now that the Jews were disinherited, because they rejected Christ, and that we, who are of the Gentiles, were adopted into their place is proved by the Scriptures. Jeremiah thus speaks, "I have forsaken my house. I have given my heritage into the hands of its enemies. My heritage has become to me as a lion in the forest. It has given forth its voice against me; therefore have I hated it."”
