Jeremiah 10:8 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities. The stock is a doctrine of vanities - Dr. Blayney translates, - "The wood itself is a rebuker of vanities." The very tree out of which the god is hewn demonstrates the vanity and folly of the idolaters; for, can all the art of man make out of a log of wood an animate and intelligent being?
