Jeremiah 10:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 10:3

Idols and the True God

1 Hear the word which the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel.

2 Thus says the Lord:
^a“Do not learn the way of the Gentiles;
Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven,
For the Gentiles are dismayed at them.

3 For the customs of the peoples are¹ futile;
For ^aone cuts a tree from the forest,
The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.

4 They decorate it with silver and gold;
They ^afasten it with nails and hammers
So that it will not topple.

5 They are upright, like a palm tree,
And ^athey cannot speak;
They must be ^bcarried,
Because they cannot go by themselves.
Do not be afraid of them,
For ^cthey cannot do evil,
Nor can they do any good.”

6 Inasmuch as there is none ^alike You, O Lord
(You are great, and Your name is great in might),

7 ^aWho would not fear You, O King of the nations?
For this is Your rightful due.
For ^bamong all the wise men of the nations,
And in all their kingdoms,
There is none like You.
