Jeremiah 10:3

Jer 10:3 For the customs of the people [are] vain: for [one] cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

Ver. 3. For the customs of the people a are vain.] Their rites confirmed by custom; their imagery, for instance, a very magnum nihil, whether ye look to the efficient matter, form, or end of those idols.

For one cutteth a tree out of the forest. ] See Isaiah 40:2 ; Isaiah 44:12-17 , which last place Jeremiah here seemeth to have imitated.
