Jer. 10:3–5 Idols are made by people, so idols have no power to speak or act. Serving them makes no sense (Isa. 44:9–20).

Jer. 10:8–9 Taking instruction from idols is foolish. Idols may be made of the finest materials by the finest craftsman, but they remain human creations. Tarshish represents the ends of the earth. The location of Uphaz is unknown.

Jer. 10:11–13 All false gods shall perish. They were created by humans, but the living God made and established the world by wisdom and understanding (51:15–19). The false gods’ “instruction” (10:8) makes people foolish, while God’s instruction makes people wise.

Jer. 10:19–20 Jerusalem expresses her woes (Lam. 1:20–22; 2:20–22).

Jer. 10:21 shepherds. Judah’s leaders (see note on 3:15).

Jer. 10:23–25 Jeremiah turns to God for wisdom (vv. 11–16), for he needs God to direct his steps. He knows God can correct a person, and only does so justly (Heb. 12:5–11). He asks that the idolatrous nations attacking Judah may soon receive divine correction.
