Gill's Notes on the Bible
Every man is brutish in his knowledge,.... Or science of making an idol, whether it be of wood, or of gold, or silver, or brass; he is no better than a brute, if he thinks, when he has made it, he has made a god: or, "because of knowledge" w; for want of it; being without the knowledge of God and divine things, he is like the beasts that perish, Psalms 49:20:
every founder is confounded by the graven image; or put to shame on account of it; since, after all his art, and care, and trouble, in melting and refining, and casting it into a form, it is no more than a piece of gold, or silver, or brass, and has no deity, nor anything like it, in it:
for his molten image is falsehood; it is a lie, when it is said to be a god; and it deceives those who worship it, and place any confidence in it. Kimchi renders it, "his covering" x. The covering of the idol with gold and silver, with blue and purple, as in Jeremiah 10:4, is all a piece of deceit, to impose upon the people, and lead them into idolatry:
and there is no breath in them; they are mere stocks and stones, lifeless and inanimate creatures; they have neither life themselves, nor can they give it to others.
w מדעת "propter scientiam", Pagninus, Montanus; "a scientia", Calvin, Grotius, Schmidt. x נסכו "tectio, [sive] obductio ejus", Vatablus.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In his knowledge - Rather, “without knowledge; i. e., on comparing his powerless idols with the terrific grandeur of a tropical thunderstorm the man who can still worship them instead of the Creator is destitute of knowledge.
Every founder ... - Or, “every goldsmith is put to shame etc.” He has exhausted his skill on what remains an image.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 10:14. Every man is brutish — נבער nibar, is a boor, acts as a brute, who may suppose that a stock of a tree, formed like a man, may be an intellectual being; and therefore shuns the form as though it had life. See Isaiah 44:10-11. Of which verses, by the way, Dr. Blayney gives the following version to correct that of Bishop Lowth: -
Isaiah 44:10; Isaiah 44:10. Who hath formed a god?
Or set up a graven image that profiteth not?
Isaiah 44:11. Behold, all that are connected with it shall be
ashamed,
And the artificers, they above all men!
They shall assemble all of them; they shall stand
forth;
They shall fear; they shall be ashamed at the same
time.
"That is, while they stand before the image they have set up, and worship it with a religious dread, the glaring absurdity of their conduct shall lead to their shame and disgrace."
With due deference to this learned man, I think this interpretation too refined.
