This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_10:9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple [is] their clothing: they [are] all the work of cunning [men].
Ver. 9. Silver spread into plates.] See Isa_40:19.
Is brought from Tarshish.] From Tarsus or Tartessus; {Eze_27:12} from Africa, saith the Chaldee. Idolaters spare for no cost.
And gold from Uphaz.] The same with Phaz; {Job_28:17} or with Ophir, as some; Aurum Obzyrum.
They are all the work of cunning men.] Quaerunt suos Phidias et Praxiteles: but how could those give that deity which themselves had not?
