Jeremiah Chapter 10
Jeremiah 10 closes the section with a solemn warning to Israel against the superstitious fear and idolatry of heathen ways, which are exposed in the ridicule of their falsehood. "They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The Lord of hosts is his name." (Ver. 15, 16.) Verses 17, 18 speak of speedy and condign judgment. And the prophet (ver. 19-25) both resumes his outpourings of grief, pleads for correction only in judgment lest all should come to nought, and prays for His fury on the heathen that know Him not, the devourers of Jacob and desolaters of His habitation.
