Notes

Jeremiah 10:1

As usual, Jeremiah identified the source of his message. He urged his audience not just to hear, but to pay close attention to the word of the Lord. In Hebrew thought, a person who does not respond has not truly heard.

Jeremiah 10:1–16

This poetic passage criticizes idol worship and affirms the unity and majesty of the one true God. It is not a logical discussion of divinity in nature or a detailed statement about God's attributes. Instead, it is a poem about the foolishness of worshiping idols that the worshipers have made. It includes strong affirmations of faith that clearly declare who God is.

Jeremiah 10:1–25

This poetic passage has three parts:

A contrast between the Lord and pagan idols (Jeremiah 10:1–16)
A reflection on the destruction awaiting idol worshipers (Jeremiah 10:17–18, 19–22)
A prayer asking God to act with restraint in the coming judgment and to ensure the pagan nations do not go unpunished (Jeremiah 10:23–25).
