Gill's Notes on the Bible
Woe is me for my hurt!.... Or "breach" a; which was made upon the people of the Jews, when besieged, taken, and carried captive; with whom the prophet heartily sympathized, and considered their calamities and distresses as his own; for these are the words of the prophet, lamenting the sad estate of his people.
My wound is grievous; causes grief, is very painful, and hard to be endured:
but I said; within himself, after he had thoroughly considered the matter:
this is a grief; an affliction, a trial, and exercise:
and I must bear it; patiently and quietly, since it is of God, and is justly brought upon the people for their sins.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The lamentation of the daughter of Zion, the Jewish Church, at the devastation of the land, and her humble prayer to God for mercy.
Jeremiah 10:19
Grievous - Rather, âmortal,â i. e., fatal, incurable.
A grief - Or, âmy grief.â
Jeremiah 10:20
tabernacle - i. e., âtent.â Jerusalem laments that her tent is plundered and her children carried into exile, and so âare not,â are dead Matthew 2:18, either absolutely, or dead to her in the remote land of their captivity. They can aid the widowed mother no longer in pitching her tent, or in hanging up the curtains round about it.
Jeremiah 10:21
Therefore they shall not prosper - Rather, âtherefore they have not governed wisely.â âThe pastors,â i. e., the kings and rulers Jeremiah 2:8, having sunk to the condition of barbarous and untutored men, could not govern wisely.
Jeremiah 10:22
The âgreat commotionâ is the confused noise of the army on its march (see Jeremiah 8:16).
Dragons - i. e., jackals; see the marginal reference.
Jeremiah 10:23
At the rumour of the enemyâs approach Jeremiah utters in the name of the nation a supplication appropriate to men overtaken by the divine justice.
Jeremiah 10:24
With judgment - In Jeremiah 30:11; Jeremiah 46:28, the word âjudgmentâ (with a different preposition) is rendered âin measure.â The contrast therefore is between punishment inflicted in anger, and that inflicted as a duty of justice, of which the object is the criminalâs reformation. Jeremiah prays that God would punish Jacob so far only as would bring him to true repentance, but that he would pour forth his anger upon the pagan, as upon that which opposes itself to God Jeremiah 10:25.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 10:19. This is a grief, and I must bear it. — Oppressive as it is, I have deserved it, and worse; but even in this judgment God remembers mercy.
