Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 10:14

_ _ in his knowledge — “is rendered brutish by his skill,” namely, in idol-making (Jeremiah 10:8, Jeremiah 10:9). Thus the parallel, “confounded by the graven image,” corresponds (so Jeremiah 51:17). Others not so well translate, “without knowledge,” namely, of God (see Isaiah 42:17; Isaiah 45:16; Hosea 4:6).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 10:1-16.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 10:14

Every man — Every idolator.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 10:14

Every man is (h) senseless in [his] knowledge: every goldsmith is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image [is] falsehood, and [there is] no breath in them.

(h) The more man thinks to do anything well by his own wisdom, and not as God instructs him, the more he proves himself to be a vile beast.
