Jerome, on Dan 3:29
Jerome · c. A.D. 347–420
Dan 3:29 · Douay-Rheims
“For we have sinned, and committed iniquity, departing from thee: and we have trespassed in all things:”
On this verse:
“Verse 29. "'I have therefore determined upon this decree (the Vulgate says: "have appointed this decree"): that any people, tribe or tongue which utters blasphemy against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego shall utterly perish and his house shall be laid waste. For there is no other God who can save after such a fashion.'" Some authorities very wrongly apply this to the devil himself, asserting that in the consummation at the end of the world even the devil himself will receive a knowledge of God and will exhort all men to repent. These persons would have it that this is the king of Nineveh who finally descends from his proud throne and attains to the rewards of humility.”
