Joshua 9:4131 Samuel 16:20Matthew 9:17Mark 2:22Luke 5:37,38Judges 4:19Genesis 21:14,15,19Habakkuk 2:15

Earthenware vessels were also similarly used (Jeremiah 19:1-10; 1 Kings 14:3; Isaiah 30:14 ). In Job 32:19 (Compare Matthew 9:17; Luke 5:37,38; Mark 2:22 ) the reference is to a wine-skin ready to burst through the fermentation of the wine. "Bottles of wine" in the Authorized Version of Hosea 7:5 is properly rendered in the Revised Version by "the heat of wine," i.e., the fever of wine, its intoxicating strength.

The clouds are figuratively called the "bottles of heaven" ( Job 38:37 ). A bottle blackened or shrivelled by smoke is referred to in Psalm 119:83 as an image to which the psalmist likens himself.
