THE MESSAGE
Listen to the Message that God is sending your way, House of Israel. Listen most carefully: "Don't take the godless nations as your models. Don't be impressed by their glamour and glitz, no matter how much they're impressed. The religion of these peoples is nothing but smoke. An idol is nothing but a tree chopped down, then shaped by a woodsman's ax. They trim it with tinsel and balls, use hammer and nails to keep it upright. It's like a scarecrow in a cabbage patch—can't talk! Dead wood that has to be carried—can't walk! Don't be impressed by such stuff. It's useless for either good or evil."

Contextual Overview
1 Family of Israel, listen to the Lord ! 2 This is what the Lord says: "Don't live like people from other nations. Don't be afraid of special signs in the sky. The other nations are afraid of what they see in the sky. But you must not be afraid of them. 3 The customs of other people are worth nothing. Their idols are nothing but wood from the forest. Their idols are made by workers with their chisels. 4 They make their idols beautiful with silver and gold. They use hammers and nails to fasten their idols down so that they will not fall over. 5 The idols of the other nations are like a scarecrow in a cucumber field. They cannot walk. They cannot talk, and the people must carry them. So don't be afraid of their idols. They cannot hurt you. And they cannot help you either." 6 Lord , there is no one like you. You are great! Your name is great and powerful! 7 Everyone should respect you, King of all the nations. You deserve their respect. There are many wise men among the nations, but not one of them is as wise as you. 8 All the people of the other nations are stupid and foolish. Their teachings come from worthless wooden statues. 9 They use silver from the city of Tarshish and gold from the city of Uphaz and make their statues. Carpenters and metalworkers make the idols. They put blue and purple clothes on them. "Wise men" make these "gods." 10 But the Lord is the only true God. He is the only God who is alive. He is the King who rules forever. The earth shakes when he is angry. The people of the nations cannot stop his anger.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel. Or, "upon you"; or, "concerning you" k; it may design the judgment of God decreed and pronounced upon them; or the prophecy of it to them, in which they were nearly concerned; or the word of God in general, sent unto them by his prophets, which they were backward of hearing; and seems to refer particularly to what follows.
k עליכם "super vos", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus; "de vobis", Vatablus; "super vobis", Cocceius.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER X
The Jews, about to be carried into captivity, are here warned
against the superstition and idolatry of that country to which
they were going. Chaldea was greatly addicted to astrology, and
therefore the prophet begins with warning them against it,
1, 2.
He then exposes the absurdity of idolatry in short but elegant
satire; in the midst of which he turns, in a beautiful
apostrophe, to the one true God, whose adorable attributes
repeatedly strike in view, as he goes along, and lead him to
contrast his infinite perfections with those despicable
inanities which the blinded nations fear, 3-16.
The prophet again denounces the Divine judgments, 17, 18;
upon which Jerusalem laments her fate, and supplicates the
Divine compassion in her favour, 19-25.
NOTES ON CHAP. X
Verse Jeremiah 10:1. Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you — Dr. Dahler supposes this discourse to have been delivered in the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim. It contains an invective against idolatry; showing its absurdity, and that the Creator alone should be worshipped by all mankind.
