Give glory to the LORD your God
This phrase is a call to acknowledge and honor God, recognizing His sovereignty and authority. In the context of Jeremiah, the people of Judah are being urged to repent and return to God. Giving glory to God involves worship, obedience, and a heart aligned with His will. This call echoes throughout Scripture, such as in1 Corinthians 10:31, where believers are instructed to do everything for the glory of God.

before He brings darkness
Darkness here symbolizes judgment and calamity. In biblical literature, darkness often represents God's judgment or the absence of His presence, as seen inExodus 10:21-23 during the plagues of Egypt. The warning is urgent, suggesting that repentance should occur before God enacts His judgment, which is inevitable if the people continue in disobedience.

before your feet stumble on the dusky mountains
The imagery of stumbling on mountains suggests a loss of direction and stability. Mountains in the ancient Near East were often seen as places of refuge or challenge. The "dusky" or shadowy mountains imply danger and uncertainty. This phrase warns of the peril that comes from ignoring God's guidance, reminiscent ofProverbs 4:19, where the way of the wicked is likened to deep darkness.

You wait for light
The expectation of light signifies hope for deliverance and clarity. Light in Scripture often represents God's presence, truth, and salvation, as seen inPsalm 27:1. The people of Judah are depicted as waiting for relief and guidance, yet their actions do not align with God's will, thus delaying the light they seek.

but He turns it into deep gloom and thick darkness
This transformation from anticipated light to darkness underscores the consequences of persistent disobedience. Deep gloom and thick darkness are expressions of severe judgment, similar to the descriptions of the Day of the Lord inAmos 5:18-20. This serves as a stark warning that without repentance, the expected blessings will turn into curses, reflecting the covenantal relationship between God and His people.

Persons / Places / Events

3.The LORD (Yahweh)

4.Darkness and Light
Symbolic elements used throughout Scripture to represent judgment and blessing, respectively. Darkness often signifies God's judgment and the absence of His presence, while light represents His guidance and favor.

What Does Jeremiah 13:16 Mean
Give glory to the LORD your God

Jeremiah’s opening command is urgent and gracious. God, through His prophet, calls Judah to return genuine praise and obedience before judgment falls.

• “Give glory” means acknowledging God’s rightful place as sovereign King (Psalm 29:1–2;Revelation 14:7).

• The appeal shows His patience; He desires repentance, not wrath (2 Peter 3:9).

• True glory-giving includes turning from idols, trusting His covenant promises, and living in obedience (Deuteronomy 10:12–13;1 Samuel 12:24).

before He brings darkness

Darkness pictures impending judgment.

• In Scripture, darkness often signals God’s displeasure and the removal of His favor (Amos 5:18–20;Matthew 8:12).

• For Judah, this pointed to Babylonian invasion, exile, and the loss of temple worship (Jeremiah 25:8–11).

• The warning underscores that mercy has a limit; continued rebellion invites divine discipline (Hebrews 10:26–27).

before your feet stumble on the dusky mountains

The imagery shifts from cosmic darkness to personal danger.

• Stumbling hints at moral failure and physical catastrophe (Psalm 73:2;Proverbs 4:19).

• “Dusky mountains” evokes treacherous paths at twilight—places where travelers fall when light fades. Judah’s national life was on such a precipice (Lamentations 1:3).

• The call is to act while paths are still clear—repentance delayed becomes repentance denied (Isaiah 55:6).

you wait for light, but He turns it into deep gloom and thick darkness

The people expected relief, yet persistent sin would reverse their hopes.

• Light symbolizes God’s favor and guidance (Psalm 27:1;John 8:12).

• When light is turned to “deep gloom,” it highlights divine retribution that only God can unleash or withhold (Isaiah 5:30;Joel 2:2).

• The contrast underscores accountability: refusing the Light leads to intensified darkness (John 3:19–20).

summary

Jeremiah 13:16 is a loving but stern plea: honor God now, while the window of mercy is open. Delay invites growing darkness—spiritual, moral, and national. Judah’s story warns every generation that genuine repentance brings light, but stubborn hearts reap gloom. God’s call is clear: turn to Him today, glorify Him in reverent obedience, and walk securely in His light.

(16)Give glory to the Lord your God.--Probably in the same sense as inJoshua 7:19 andJohn 9:24, perhaps also inMalachi 2:2, "give glory by confessing the truth, even though that truth be a sin that involves punishment." "Confess your guilt ere it be too late for pardon." This fits in better with the context than the more general sense of "ascribing praise to God."

Before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains.--Literally,the mountains of twilight,the word used being employed exclusively first of the coolness and then of the gathering gloom of evening twilight, and never of the dawn. (Compare its use inJob 3:9;Job 24:15;Proverbs 7:9.) The fact that the shadows are deepening is obviously one of the vivid touches of the figurative language used. The "gloaming" of the dusk is to pass on into the midnight darkness of the "shadow of death." The same thought is found inIsaiah 59:10, and (probably with some reference to this very passage) in our Lord's words, "If a man walk in the night he stumbleth" (John 11:10;John 12:35). . . .

Verse 16. -Give glory, etc. Let your tribute to your King be that of humble submission to his will. The precise application of the phrase must be derived from the context (comp.Joshua 7:19;Malachi 2:2).Upon the dark mountains; rather,upon mountains of twilight. A "mountain"is an image of a great obstacle (Zechariah 4:7;Matthew 21:21). As Judah is walking along, the hitherto even tenor of his way gives place to huge mountains wrapped in an impenetrable dusk, over which he will stumble and fall if he does not repent in time.
