The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 13:16

Give glory , etc. Let your tribute to your King be that of humble submission to his will. The precise application of the phrase must be derived from the context (comp. Joshua 7:19 ; Malachi 2:2 ). Upon the dark mountains ; rather, upon mountains of twilight . A "mountain" is an image of a great obstacle ( Zechariah 4:7 ; Matthew 21:21 ). As Judah is walking along, the hitherto even tenor of his way gives place to huge mountains wrapped in an impenetrable dusk, over which he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 13:16

Darkness. I. SIN PLUNGES THE SOUL INTO DARKNESS . "Light is sown for the righteous " ( Psalms 97:11 ). The darkness of evil thoughts and an evil will throws its shadow out on the world, and ultimately brings gloom over the whole of life. 1. This darkness is distressing . The benighted feel a horror of great darkness falling upon them amid the wild and lonely mountains. When God withdraws the sunshine of his grace this mournful condition must be the experience of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 13:16

Days of grace and how they should be spent The mind of the prophet was full of the doom which he had predicted, and he was apprehensive of the spiritual results of exile and confusion with heathen nations. The people themselves, however, did not exhibit any such anxiety. They treated his words as idle tales, or as the expression of ill nature and enmity. The relation of these two is a typical one. From age to age the preacher of righteousness urges his pleas and presses for immediate... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 13:16

A solemn warning. This is an appeal to the fears of the people; one of the many instances in which the prophet seeks to win them to the way of righteousness by the presage of impending woe. Utter destruction is before them ( Jeremiah 13:14 ), the twilight is fast deepening into "gross darkness." But even now it is not too late for them to avert the calamity by their repentance. It is not mainly through their fears that Christianity exerts its influence over men. But, as many of the... read more

Lost upon the dark mountains. "Give glory to the Lord," etc. I. THE SCENE PORTRAYED . It is that of unhappy travelers overtaken by night, when crossing some of the perilous mountain tracks of Palestine. A traveler overtaken as these seem to have been by a night storm, is in imminent danger of falling over precipices and perishing miserably. Even by day the way is perilous: the paths are easily lost, or are strewn with rocks, or they lead along steep and slippery slopes, or by... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 13:16

The dark mountains - Rather, “the mountains of twilight.” Judah is not walking upon the safe highway, but upon dangerous mountains: and the dusk is closing round her. While then the light still serves let her return unto her God.And, while ye look ... - Translate, “and ye wait for light, and He turn it (the light) into the shadow of death, yea change it into clouded darkness.” read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 13:15-17

Jeremiah 13:15-17. Hear ye, &c. The prophet proceeds to give them good counsel, which, if it had been taken, the desolation and destruction threatened would have been prevented. Be not proud Pride was one of the sins for which God had a controversy with them, Jeremiah 13:9. Let them mortify and forsake this and their other sins, and God will let fall his controversy with them. Give glory to the Lord your God Glorify God by an humble confession of your sins, by submitting yourselves... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:1-27

A nation useless and disgraced (13:1-27)In an effort to emphasize God’s warnings to Judah more forcefully, Jeremiah gave them an illustration that they could all see. He took a piece of clean new cloth, put it around his waist, then walked to a distant river where he buried the cloth in the river bank. Some time later he returned to the river and brought back the cloth for all to see. It was now rotten and useless (13:1-7). The meaning is that Judah, the nation that was supposed to be morally... read more
