Jeremiah 10:17

Gather up thy wares— That is, "Collect to Jerusalem all that you have valuable in the country: fly thither for refuge, with your best effects; for the enemy will soon extend himself all over your land, and render it desolate." The Vulgate translates the word כנעתךֵ kinatheik, which we render wares, by confusion; meaning the idols, the causes of their disgrace and confusion: "Cause them," says the prophet, "to be assembled together, and brought into the city, to defend it for you against the enemy." See Calmet.
