With that wine, saith God, I will fill all orders of persons, kings, priests, prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. \nJeremiah 13:16\n \njer 13:16\nGive glory - Glorify God, by an humble confession of your sins, by submitting yourselves to God, humbling yourselves under his word, and under his mighty hand, before God brings upon you, his great and heavy judgments. \nJeremiah 13:19\n \njer 13:19\nThe cities - The cities of Judah lay southward from Chaldea. \nJeremiah 13:20\n \njer 13:20\nWhere - The prophet speaks to the king, or to the rulers. In the multitude of the people is the king's honour. \nJeremiah 13:21\n \njer 13:21\nWhat wilt thou say - Thou wilt have nothing to say, but be wholly confounded when God shall visit thee with this sore judgment, for by thy so often calling them to thy assistance, thou hast taught them to be captains over thee. \nJeremiah 13:22\n \njer 13:22\nThy skirts - Probably these phrases are fetched from the usual practice of soldiers when they have conquered a place and taken prisoners, to strip them. By skirts is meant the lower part of their bodies covered with the lower part of their garments. \nJeremiah 13:26\n \njer 13:26\nTherefore - I will expose thee to shame and contempt. \nJeremiah 13:27\n \njer 13:27\nThy whoredom - Thy idolatries.","title":"Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible: Jeremiah: Jeremiah Chapter 13","type":"page"}
