Suffering the city...

Hi

I came across this statement:

The LORD would not disgrace His own glorious habitation, by suffering the city and the temple, and the Ark in it, to be destroyed.

I'd like to know if the word "suffering" used in the above sentence is appropriate in this context.

Please help.


Thank you
