Jeremiah 10:6 - Exposition

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 ).
