Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 10:6-7

Jeremiah 10:6-7. Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee This verse would be better rendered, O Lord, thou art great, so that there is none like unto thee, and thy name is great, because of thy might. Who would not fear thee? Rather, who would not reverence, or stand in awe of thee? For to thee doth it appertain That is, as some interpret the phrase, To thee doth it appertain to be feared and reverenced; to thee fear and reverence are due. The Hebrew, however, may be rendered,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 10:1-16

Knowledge of the only true God (9:23-10:16)People may have knowledge, power and wealth, but these are no substitute for a true understanding and knowledge of God (23-24). The Judeans may have been circumcised as a sign that they are the covenant people of God, but in their hearts they have not been true to God or the covenant. They might as well be uncircumcised like their heathen neighbours. Israel’s rite of circumcision is no more beneficial to disobedient people than the heathen rite of... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 10:7

7. ( :-). to thee doth it appertain—to Thee it properly belongs, namely, that Thou shouldest be "feared" (taken out of the previous "fear Thee") (compare :-). He alone is the becoming object of worship. To worship any other is unseemly and an infringement of His inalienable prerogative. none—nothing whatever (see on Jeremiah 10:1; Jeremiah 10:1- :). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 10:1-16

A satire on idolatry 10:1-16This scathing exposé of the folly of idolatry resembles several polemics in Isaiah (cf. Isaiah 40:18-20; Isaiah 41:6-7; Isaiah 44:9-20; Isaiah 46:5-7). Jeremiah 10:12-16 appear again in Jeremiah 51:15-19."Why did so easy a target as idolatry need so many attacks in the Old Testament? Jeremiah 10:9 suggests one reason: the appeal of the visually impressive; but perhaps Jeremiah 10:2 goes deeper, in pointing to the temptation to fall into step with the majority."... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 10:4-25

Incorrigible Judah 8:4-10:25The twin themes of Judah’s stubborn rebellion and her inevitable doom tie this section of miscellaneous messages together. The section contains mostly poetic material, and the prophecies bear the marks of Jehoiakim’s early reign (perhaps shortly after 609 B.C.). read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 10:7

People naturally fear Him (cf. Jeremiah 10:5) because He is the sovereign over all nations. Most of the ancients believed that idols only had authority over certain geographical territories. Yahweh is also wiser than any wise men anywhere. read more

John Dummelow

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 10:1-25

1-16. The folly of idolatry.This section of the prophecy is of doubtful authorship. For (a) it introduces a break in the sense; (b) there is less smoothness between the parts than we generally find in Jeremiah’s writings; (c) its language differs considerably from his use elsewhere, and closely resembles that of Isaiah 40-44; (d) the writer emphasises the fact that false gods are incapable of hurting, while Jeremiah elsewhere speaks rather of them as powerless to aid; (e) Isaiah 44:2, Isaiah... read more
