Matthew Henry's Complete Bible Commentary

Jeremiah 13

Still the prophet is attempting to awaken this secure and stubborn people to repentance, by the consideration of the judgments of God that were coming upon them. He is to tell them, I. By the sign of a girdle spoiled that their pride should be stained, Jeremiah 13:1-13:11. II. By the sign of bottles filled with wine that their counsels should be blasted, Jeremiah 13:12-13:14. III. In consideration hereof he is to call them to repent and humble themselves, Jeremiah 13:15-13:21. IV. He is to convince them that it is for their obstinacy and incorrigibleness that the judgments of God are so prolonged and brought to extremity, Jeremiah 13:22-13:27. MHBCC 759.1
