DANIEL AVOIDS CARELESSNESS. JEROME: Jeremiah had predicted seventy years for the desolation of the temple, at the end of which the people would again return to Judea and build the temple and the city of Jerusalem. However, this fact did not render Daniel careless but rather encouraged him to pray that God might through his supplications fulfill that which he had graciously promised. Thus he avoided the danger that carelessness might result in pride, and pride cause offense to the Lord. Accordingly we read in Genesis that prior to the deluge, 120 years were appointed for humankind to come to repentance; and as they refused to repent even within so long an interval of time as a hundred years, God did not wait for the remaining twenty years to be fulfilled but brought on the punishment earlier that he had threatened for a later time. So also Jeremiah is told, on account of the hardness of the heart of the Jewish people: “Pray not for this people, for I will not hearken to you.” Samuel also was told, “How long will you mourn over Saul? I also have rejected him.” And so it was with sackcloth and ashes that Daniel requested God to fulfill what he had promised, not because Daniel lacked faith concerning the future, but because he would rather avoid the danger that a feeling of security might produce carelessness, for carelessness in turn might produce an offense to God.
