Jerome
Patristic
c. A.D. 347–420
“"And you should then say to them: This is the generation who did not listen to the voice of the Lord their God or accepted his discipline." It is beautiful, as I said before, not that he calls his own people, but that he calls the human race. For, although at the time of the prophets, it was done in part and as a foreshadowing, it was only fulfilled in Christ, when they refused to accept discipline and despised the voice of their Lord. Thus, Jeremiah has the apt phrase: "faith has perished"—which is distinctive of Christians—"and was removed from their mouth," clearly referring to the confession of faith of the child of God.”
