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 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel; 2 thus saith the LORD: Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the nations are dismayed at them. 3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for it is but a tree which one cutteth out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe. 4 They deck it with silver and with gold, they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 5 They are like a pillar in a garden of cucumbers, and speak not; they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good. 6 There is none like unto Thee, O LORD; Thou art great, and Thy name is great in might. 7 Who would not fear Thee, O king of the nations? For it befitteth Thee; forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royalty, there is none like unto Thee. 8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the vanities by which they are instructed are but a stock; 9 Silver beaten into plates which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple is their clothing; they are all the work of skilful men. 10 But the LORD God is the true God, He is the living God, and the everlasting King; at His wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations are not able to abide His indignation.

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.
