The Pulpit Commentary on Jeremiah 10:6

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Forasmuch as there is none; rather, so that, etc. But practically it is merely a strengthened negative. There is none like unto thee; none, that is, among those who claim to have Divine power (comp. the phrase, "God of gods," Deuteronomy 10:17; Psalms 136:2).

It would appear from some passages, however, as if the heathen did not worship mere nonentities (though idols are sometimes called "things of naught," e.g. ten times by Isaiah) by comparison with Jehovah, but that there was a dark background of awful personal or quasi-personal reality (e.

g. Deuteronomy 4:7; 2 Chronicles 28:23).
