THE MESSAGE
Listen to the Message that God is sending your way, House of Israel. Listen most carefully: "Don't take the godless nations as your models. Don't be impressed by their glamour and glitz, no matter how much they're impressed. The religion of these peoples is nothing but smoke. An idol is nothing but a tree chopped down, then shaped by a woodsman's ax. They trim it with tinsel and balls, use hammer and nails to keep it upright. It's like a scarecrow in a cabbage patch—can't talk! Dead wood that has to be carried—can't walk! Don't be impressed by such stuff. It's useless for either good or evil."

New American Standard Bible (1995)
Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel.

Contextual Overview

¹ Hear ye the word of the Lord, which he has spoken to you, O house of Israel. ² Thus saith the Lord, Learn ye not the ways of the heathen, and be not alarmed at the signs of the sky; for they are alarmed at them, falling on their faces. ³ For the customs of the nations are vain; it is a tree cut out of the forest, the work of the carpenter, or a molten image. ⁴ They are beautified with silver and gold, they fix them with hammers and nails; ⁵ they will set them up that they may not move; it is wrought silver, they will not walk, it is forged silver They must certainly be borne, for they cannot ride of themselves. Fear them not; for they cannot do any evil, and there is no good in them. ⁹ brought from Tharsis, gold will come from Mophaz, and the work of goldsmiths: they are all the works of craftsmen, they will clothe themselves with blue and scarlet. ¹¹ Thus shall ye say to them, Let the gods which have not made heaven and earth perish from off the earth, and from under this sky. ¹² It is the Lord that made the earth by his strength, who set up the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the sky, ¹³ and set abundance of waters in the sky, and brought up clouds from the ends of the earth; he made lightnings for the rain, and brought forth light out of his treasures. ¹⁴ Every man is deprived of knowledge, every goldsmith is confounded because of his graven images; for he has cast false gods, there is no breath in them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel. Or, "upon you"; or, "concerning you" k; it may design the judgment of God decreed and pronounced upon them; or the prophecy of it to them, in which they were nearly concerned; or the word of God in general, sent unto them by his prophets, which they were backward of hearing; and seems to refer particularly to what follows.

k עליכם "super vos", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus; "de vobis", Vatablus; "super vobis", Cocceius.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER X

The Jews, about to be carried into captivity, are here warned

against the superstition and idolatry of that country to which

they were going. Chaldea was greatly addicted to astrology, and

therefore the prophet begins with warning them against it,

1, 2.

He then exposes the absurdity of idolatry in short but elegant

satire; in the midst of which he turns, in a beautiful

apostrophe, to the one true God, whose adorable attributes

repeatedly strike in view, as he goes along, and lead him to

contrast his infinite perfections with those despicable

inanities which the blinded nations fear, 3-16.

The prophet again denounces the Divine judgments, 17, 18;

upon which Jerusalem laments her fate, and supplicates the

Divine compassion in her favour, 19-25.

NOTES ON CHAP. X

Verse Jeremiah 10:1. Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you — Dr. Dahler supposes this discourse to have been delivered in the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim. It contains an invective against idolatry; showing its absurdity, and that the Creator alone should be worshipped by all mankind.
