Jeremiah 13:16 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The dark mountains - Rather, “the mountains of twilight.” Judah is not walking upon the safe highway, but upon dangerous mountains: and the dusk is closing round her. While then the light still serves let her return unto her God.

And, while ye look ... - Translate, “and ye wait for light, and He turn it (the light) into the shadow of death, yea change it into clouded darkness.”

Jeremiah 13:16

16 Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
