Commentary on Jeremiah 10:20

Theological / Devotional

My tabernacle. Better, “my tent,” a figure of Jerusalem or, perhaps, of the whole land of Judah.

My cords. The figure of the tent continues in the prophet’s mind.

They are not. The children were either dead or in exile (see Jer. 31:15; cf. Gen. 42:36).
