15 They are worthless, the objects of mockery; when their judgment comes, they will perish.
15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
15 They are worthless, a work of delusion; at the time of their punishment they shall perish.
15 deadwood gods, tasteless jokes. When the fires of judgment come, they'll be ashes.
15 They are futile, a work of errors; In the time of their punishment they shall perish.
15 Idols are worthless; they are ridiculous lies! On the day of reckoning they will all be destroyed.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 10:15
Commentary on Jeremiah 10:1-16
(Read Jeremiah 10:1-16)
The prophet shows the glory of Israel's God, and exposes the folly of idolaters. Charms and other attempts to obtain supernatural help, or to pry into futurity, are copied from the wicked customs of the heathen. Let us stand in awe, and not dare provoke God, by giving that glory to another which is due to him alone. He is ready to forgive, and save all who repent and believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ. Faith learns these blessed truths from the word of God; but all knowledge not from that source, leads to doctrines of vanity.
