WARNING AGAINST THE PRIDE OF ISRAEL"Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud; for Jehovah hath spoken. Give glory to Jehovah your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it gross darkness.

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 13:16
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."

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.
