Every man is brutish in [his] knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image [is] falsehood, and [there is] no breath in them.

Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 10:14

Theological / Devotional

Brutish. Or, “stupid,” “dullhearted” (see on v. 8).

Every founder. That is, “every refiner,” or “goldsmith” (see on v. 9).

Confounded. Better, “ashamed.” The idol upon which the artisan has exhausted his skill remains a lifeless object.
