Jeremiah 10:8
_ _ altogether — rather, “all alike” [Maurer]. Even the so-called “wise” men (Jeremiah 10:7) of the Gentiles are on a level with the brutes and “foolish,” namely, because they connive at the popular idolatry (compare Romans 1:21-28). Therefore, in Daniel and Revelation, the world power is represented under a bestial form. Man divests himself of his true humanity, and sinks to the level of the brute, when he severs his connection with God (Psalms 115:8; Jonah 2:8).
_ _ stock is a doctrine of vanities — The stock (put for the worship of all idols whatever, made out of a stock) speaks for itself that the whole theory of idolatry is vanity (Isaiah 44:9-11). Castalio translates, “the very wood itself confuting the vanity” (of the idol). |
Jeremiah 10:8
But they are altogether senseless and foolish: the stock [is] a (e) doctrine of vanities.
(e) Because the people thought that to have images was a means to serve God, and to bring them to the knowledge of him, he shows that nothing more displeases God, nor brings man into greater errors and ignorance of God: and therefore he calls them the doctrine of vanity, the work of errors, (Jeremiah 10:15). (Habakkuk 2:18) calls them the teachers of lies: contrary to that wicked opinion, that they are the books of the lay people. |
