The Pulpit Commentary on Jeremiah 10:7

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

O King of nations. As time went on, the sacred writers became more and more distinct in their assertions of the truth that Jehovah, the Self-revealing God, is not Israel's King only, but also of the world (comp.

Psalms 22:28; Psalms 47:7, Psalms 47:8; Psalms 96:10). To thee doth it appertain; viz. that men should fear thee. Forasmuch as, etc. (see above, on Jeremiah 10:6). Among all the wise men. "Men" is supplied, but doubtless rightly.
