The Pulpit Commentary on Jeremiah 10:17-22

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

This passage connects itself immediately with Jeremiah 9:1-26; where the invasion of Judah and the dispersion of its inhabitants have been foretold. Here, after describing dramatically the departure of the latter into exile, the prophet reports a distinct revelation of the same fact, so that this can no longer be assumed to be mere imaginative rhetoric.

The Jewish people is then introduced, lamenting her sad fate, but expressing resignation.
