耶利米書 13:16 RCUVTS

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 13:16-17

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

Jeremiah 13:16. Give glory to the Lord— That is to say, "Confess your faults, and humble yourselves under his mighty hand, before he bring upon you the night of affliction; before the time come, when ye shall be forced to fly by night unto the mountains for fear of the enemy." See Calmet. The dark mountains— The mountains of gloominess. By ףּנשׁ הרי harei nasheph, I imagine those caverns and holes in the mountains are meant, which the Jews were wont to make use of for burying-places; the gloomy... read more

16. Give glory, c.—Show by repentance and obedience to God, that you revere His majesty.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 13:16

They were to give glory to Yahweh before the darkness of God’s judgment overwhelmed them and they stumbled in their walk, as people descending a mountain at twilight. Presently there was some light for the people to walk in, and they were hoping for more light, but deep darkness was about to overtake them. "Giving glory to the Lord" is an idiom for confessing sins (cf. Joshua 7:19; John 9:24).The historical background for this oracle may be the deportation of Jehoiachin in 597 B.C., which was... read more
