    Jeremiah 10

    We may conjecture that the prophecy of this chapter was delivered after the first captivity, in the time of Jeconiah or Jehoiachin, when many were carried away to Babylon; for it has a double reference:—I. To those that were carried away into the land of the Chaldeans, a country notorious above any other for idolatry and superstition; and they are here cautioned against the infection of the place, not to learn the way of the heathen (Jeremiah 10:1, 10:2), for their astrology and idolatry are both foolish things (Jeremiah 10:3-10:5), and the worshippers of idols brutish, Jeremiah 10:8, 10:9. So it will appear in the day of their visitation, Jeremiah 10:14, 10:15. They are likewise exhorted to adhere firmly to the God of Israel, for there is none like him, Jeremiah 10:6, 10:7. He is the true God, lives for ever, and has the government of the world (Jeremiah 10:10-10:13), and his people are happy in him, Jeremiah 10:16. II. To those that yet remained in their own land. They are cautioned against security, and told to expect distress (Jeremiah 10:17, 10:18) and that by a foreign enemy, which God would bring upon them for their sin, Jeremiah 10:20-10:22. This calamity the prophet laments (Jeremiah 10:19) and prays for the mitigation of it, Jeremiah 10:23-10:25.MHBCC 756.1
