Scripture draws an analogy between a person and a “bottle (wineskin) in smoke.” In Biblical times, liquids were often stored in animal skins. When not in use in a home, they were hung up to be out of the way. Since a typical living area had a fire but no chimney, liquid containers hung in the smoky upper area of a home which was considered a harsh environment. We should take care that we do not become “a bottle in the smoke.”  

Verses: Ps. 119:83; Judg. 4:19; Matt. 9:17
