Jeremiah 10:15

15 Idols are worthless; they are ridiculous lies! On the day of reckoning they will all be destroyed.

Jeremiah 10:15 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 10:15

They are vanity
They are the fruit of the vain imagination of men; to worship them shows the vanity of the human mind; and they are vain things to trust to: and the work of errors;
of erroneous men, and which lead men into errors; and are worthy to be laughed at, as the Targum paraphrases it. In the time of their visitation they shall perish;
or in the time that I shall visit upon them their sins, as the Targum; that is, when Babylon should be destroyed by the Medes and Persians, as Kimchi interprets it; when their idols were destroyed also; see ( Isaiah 46:1 ) .

14 The whole human race is foolish and has no knowledge! The craftsmen are disgraced by the idols they make, for their carefully shaped works are a fraud. These idols have no breath or power.
