Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

17. hear it-my exhortation.

in secret-as one mourning and humbling himself for their sin, not self-righteously condemning them (Php 3:18).

pride-(see on [910]Jer 13:15; Job 33:17).

flock-(Jer 13:20), just as kings and leaders are called pastors.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

13:12-17 As the bottle was fitted to hold the wine, so the sins of the people made them vessels of wrath, fitted for the judgments of God; with which they should be filled till they caused each other's destruction. The prophet exhorts them to give glory to God, by confessing their sins, humbling themselves in repentance, and returning to his service. Otherwise they would be carried into other countries in all the darkness of idolatry and wickedness. All misery, witnessed or foreseen, will affect a feeling mind, but the pious heart must mourn most over the afflictions of the Lord's flock.
