The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 10:1-12

What men fear and what they ought to fear. I. WHAT MEN FEAR . They fear mere images of theft own manufacture . Note the connection between Jeremiah 10:2 and Jeremiah 10:3 . In Jeremiah 10:2 the heathen are spoken of as being dismayed at the signs of heaven. Probably these signs, considered in their more particular and direct connection with the dismay, were really images on earth, representing the supposed Divine dignity. of the bodies in the heavens. The heavenly... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 10:1-17

Idolatry. This section of Jeremiah's prophecy is one of the notable passages in the. Scriptures concerning idolatry. It is like that in Psalms 115:1-18 ; and in Isaiah 40:1-31 ; Isaiah 44:1-28 . It states or suggests much of great interest on this subject, and which deserves to be well considered by us. There is— I. THE TREMENDOUS FACT OF IDOLATRY . See: 1. The multitudes of mankind who have avowed such worship. 2. The wide extent of the world's inhabited... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 10:8

Brutish and foolish . In fact, the original meaning of the idolatrous religions had begun, probably, to fade, and the worship of Bel and Nebo had become (as the worship of the Egyptian gods became at a later period) increasingly formal and ritualistic. T he stock is a doctrine of vanities ; rather, an instruction of vanities ; i . e . all that the idols can teach is vanities. Against this is the plural ("vanities," not vanity); it is more natural (and also more in accordance with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 10:9

This verse apparently once followed Jeremiah 10:5 . Like Jeremiah 10:7 and Jeremiah 10:8 , it is omitted in the Septuagint. Silver spread into plates , etc. The silver and gold were meant for the coating of the wooden image (comp. Isaiah 30:22 ; Isaiah 40:19 ). Tarshish ; i . e . Tartessus, in south-west Spain, between the two mouths of the Baetis, or Guadal-quivir. Gold from Uphaz . A place bearing this name, or anything like it, is not known from other sources than the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 10:10-13

The nature of God. The true nature of God is seen in contrast with the objects of heathen worship. Error is sometimes serviceable in furnishing an occasion for a clearer definition of truth. Christian theology has grown up through controversies with heresy and unbelief. I. THE NATURE OF GOD . 1. God is real . Jehovah is the true God. He is not only superior to heathen deities. They are non-existent. He alone is, Religion is based on facts. Its first affirmation is... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 10:8

Jeremiah 10:8. But they are altogether brutish Or, all alike brutish. They that make images, saith the psalmist, Psalms 115:8, are like unto them, equally stupid and insensible. The stock is a doctrine of vanities Or lies. The use of images in worship is grounded on a false and foolish opinion, that God is like the work of men’s hands, and that images have some divine power lodged within them, and in this opinion it has a direct tendency to confirm the ignorant. Hence an image is... read more
