Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 10:16

The portion, of Jacob - i. e., Yahweh. He is not like gods made by a carpenter and goldsmith.Of all things - literally, of the all, the universe.The rod of his inheritance - See Psalms 74:2; compare Isaiah 63:17. The rod is the scepter, and Israel the people over whom Yahweh especially rules. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 10:16

Jeremiah 10:16 . The portion of Jacob is not like them There is no comparison between senseless idols and the great Creator of all things, who has chosen the posterity of Jacob for his peculiar people, and has promised to be their God, and that they should always have an especial interest in his favour, if they continued steadfast in their worship of, and obedience to, him. The rod of his inheritance Is an expression taken from the first division of the land of Canaan, when the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 10:1-16

Knowledge of the only true God (9:23-10:16)People may have knowledge, power and wealth, but these are no substitute for a true understanding and knowledge of God (23-24). The Judeans may have been circumcised as a sign that they are the covenant people of God, but in their hearts they have not been true to God or the covenant. They might as well be uncircumcised like their heathen neighbours. Israel’s rite of circumcision is no more beneficial to disobedient people than the heathen rite of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 10:16

Jeremiah 10:16. The Portion of Jacob— Upon the principles of heathen theology, every nation was committed to the care and superintendency of its own tutelary god, which was styled its portion, on account of the peculiar relation which was supposed to subsist between them. The portion of Jacob, therefore, is the same as the God of Jacob, he who had taken upon himself the guardianship and protection of that family. But he was distinguished from all the rest, who were falsehood and vanity all of... read more

16. portion—from a Hebrew root, "to divide." God is the all-sufficient Good of His people (Numbers 18:20; Psalms 16:5; Psalms 73:26; Lamentations 3:24). not like them—not like the idols, a vain object of trust (Lamentations 3:24- :). former of all things—the Fashioner (as a potter, Isaiah 64:8) of the universe. rod of his inheritance—The portion marked off as His inheritance by the measuring rod (Ezekiel 48:21).

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 10:1-16

A satire on idolatry 10:1-16This scathing exposé of the folly of idolatry resembles several polemics in Isaiah (cf. Isaiah 40:18-20; Isaiah 41:6-7; Isaiah 44:9-20; Isaiah 46:5-7). Jeremiah 10:12-16 appear again in Jeremiah 51:15-19."Why did so easy a target as idolatry need so many attacks in the Old Testament? Jeremiah 10:9 suggests one reason: the appeal of the visually impressive; but perhaps Jeremiah 10:2 goes deeper, in pointing to the temptation to fall into step with the majority."... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 10:4-25

Incorrigible Judah 8:4-10:25The twin themes of Judah’s stubborn rebellion and her inevitable doom tie this section of miscellaneous messages together. The section contains mostly poetic material, and the prophecies bear the marks of Jehoiakim’s early reign (perhaps shortly after 609 B.C.). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 10:16

Yahweh, the God who gave Himself in a special relationship to such an unworthy person as Jacob, is not like the idols because He is the Creator. He adopted Israel as His special treasure among the nations (Exodus 19:5-6). He is Yahweh Almighty. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 10:1-25

1-16. The folly of idolatry.This section of the prophecy is of doubtful authorship. For (a) it introduces a break in the sense; (b) there is less smoothness between the parts than we generally find in Jeremiah’s writings; (c) its language differs considerably from his use elsewhere, and closely resembles that of Isaiah 40-44; (d) the writer emphasises the fact that false gods are incapable of hurting, while Jeremiah elsewhere speaks rather of them as powerless to aid; (e) Isaiah 44:2, Isaiah... read more
