Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Jeremiah 13:9

After this manner will I mar the pride, &c.— Will I mar the glory of Judah, and the great honour of Jerusalem. See Jeremiah 13:11. "I will transport them beyond Euphrates; I will hide them in Babylon, as in the hole of a rock, whence they cannot come out. They shall be marred in the midst of the nations, without temple, without sacrifice, without priests, without external worship. I will humble their presumption, and teach them to acknowledge and adore my mercy."
