Commentary on Jeremiah 13:16

Theological / Devotional

Give glory to the Lord. That is, do that which a knowledge of God and of His requirements demands. As in the case of Achan (Joshua 7:19), such an act would involve a contrite confession of sin.

Dark mountains. Literally, “the mountains of twilight”; a picture suggesting, perhaps, the gathering gloom and darkness of punishment and despair that the Israelites were soon to experience because of their iniquity (see Isa. 59:9, 10).
