Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 10:20

_ _ tabernacle is spoiled — metaphor from the tents of nomadic life; as these are taken down in a few moments, so as not to leave a vestige of them, so Judea (Jeremiah 4:20).

_ _ cords — with which the coverings of the tent are extended.

_ _ curtains — tent-curtains.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 10:17-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

My tabernacle — He describes the overthrow of the land, or Jerusalem, by the breaking of the cords of a tabernacle, the use whereof is to fasten it on every side to stakes in the ground, which cords being broken the tabernacle falls.
