Jeremiah 13:16

Give glory, etc.—Show by repentance and obedience to God, that you revere His majesty. So Joshua exhorted Achan to "give glory to God" by confessing his crime, thereby showing he revered the All-knowing God.

stumble—image from travellers stumbling into a fatal abyss when overtaken by nightfall (Isaiah 5:30; Isaiah 59:9-10; Amos 8:9).

dark mountains—literally, "mountains of twilight" or "gloom," which cast such a gloomy shadow that the traveller stumbles against an opposing rock before he sees it (John 11:10; John 12:35).

shadow of death—the densest gloom; death shade (Psalms 44:19). Light and darkness are images of prosperity and adversity.
