Commentary on Jeremiah 13:12

Theological / Devotional

Bottle. Heb. nebel, here not a skin bottle (Heb. no’d, see on Ps. 56:9), but a large earthen jar or vessel (see Isa. 30:14; Lam. 4:2).

Filled with wine. Not understanding the spiritual import of this unique illustration, the question, “Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?” was asked by the people partly in astonishment, partly in mockery. Why should Jeremiah tell them what they already knew?
