Jeremiah 19:11

     11. as one breaketh a potter's vessel—expressing God's absolute sovereignty (Jer 18:6; Ps 2:9; Isa 30:14, Margin; La 4:2; Ro 9:20, 21).

      cannot be made whole again—A broken potter's vessel cannot be restored, but a new one may be made of the same material. So God raised a new Jewish seed, not identical with the destroyed rebels, but by substituting another generation in their stead [GROTIUS].

      no place to bury— (Jer 7:32).

Ezekiel 6:5

     5. carcasses . . . before . . . idols—polluting thus with the dead bones of you, the worshippers, the idols which seemed to you so sacrosanct.
