G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 10:1-25

Here begins the third movement in the commissioning of the prophet. In it the sin of idolatry is first dealt with. The prophet revealed the unutterable folly of idolatry in a powerful contrast between idols and Jehovah. He described the vanity of idols. They were the work of the hands of man. They were unable to move, but had to be carried. In contrast, he declared the majesty of Jehovah. Continuing the contrast, he described the weakness of idols, and the might of the true and living God.... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 10:1-16

The House Of Israel Are Not To Learn The Way Of The Nations Because, While YHWH Is Great Beyond Describing, Their Idols Are Utterly Futile (Jeremiah 10:1-16 ). This passage, in a sequence of verses, compares the futility of idols with the greatness of YHWH. They are introduced here so as to expand on what has been said in Jeremiah 9:24 about ‘understanding and knowing YHWH’. In order to bring out what understanding and knowing YHWH means he compares Him in a fourfold way with other so-called... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 10:1-25

Subsection 3. In This Subsection Jeremiah Admonishes The People Concerning The False Confidence That They Have In The Inviolability Of The Temple, And In Their Sacrificial Ritual, And After Chiding Them, Calls On Them To Recognise The Kind Of God That They Are Dealing With (Jeremiah 7:1 to Jeremiah 10:25 ). Commencing with what will be the standard introductory words up to chapter 25, ‘The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH --’ (Jeremiah 7:1; compare Jeremiah 11:1; Jeremiah 14:1; Jeremiah... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 10:1-16

Jeremiah 10:1-Nehemiah : . The Folly of Idolatry,— This passage (like Jeremiah 9:23-Ezekiel :) interrupts the connexion of Jeremiah 9:22 and Jeremiah 10:17; its denunciation of the idols of the heathen as utterly futile for good or evil relates it to the times of Deutero-Isaiah ( cf. Isaiah 44:11 ff.), and sharply distinguishes it from the denunciation of Israel’ s syncretistic worship, and the declaration of its penalty, found in Jeremiah 7-9. Israel is urged to hold aloof from the heathen... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 10:5

They are upright as the palm tree; the nature of which is to grow upright and tall, without any branchings, till it comes to the top, thereby possibly representing majesty. But speak not; looking as if they were about to speak, standing in a speaking posture; but have not a word to utter, being only dumb stocks, wooden gods. They must needs be borne, because they cannot go; they move no further or faster than you lift them, either when you go to set them up, or upon any occasion of removal, as... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 10:1-25

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the chapter. Section 1–16 has been declared spurious (by De Wette, Movers, and Hitzig), its authenticity disputed, a late interpolation by either the pseudo-Isaiah (Movers) or by a Babylonian exile. Even Naegelsbach affirms, “Who was the author, and when and by whom” the section was written, “cannot be ascertained.” Two difficulties lead to this severance of the section from the book: 1. The continuity of thought is abruptly broken by these... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 10:1-25

Chapter 10Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven [or the Zodiac]; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold ( Jeremiah 10:1-4 );With strings of light and baubles. No, it doesn't say that. Seeing things... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 10:1-25

Jeremiah 10:2 . Be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; at the position of revolving planets on which the augurs found predictions, and discover their ignorance. Be not dismayed at solar eclipses, at the aurora borealis, which cheers the northern regions with light during their long and dreary winters. Job 37:22. At the luminous appearances of some of the comets. The Saxon chronicle records, that “in the year of Christ, 678, a comet appeared, which shone every morning like a sunbeam.” Fear... read more
