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.
