Jeremiah 10:14

Verse Jeremiah 10:14. Every man is brutish] נבער nibar, is a boor, acts as a brute, who may suppose that a stock of a tree, formed like a man, may be an intellectual being; and therefore shuns the form as though it had life. See Isaiah 44:10. Of which verses, by the way, Dr. Blayney gives the following version to correct that of Bishop Lowth: -

Isaiah 44:10, Isaiah 44:10. Who hath formed a god?

Or set up a graven image that profiteth not?

Isaiah 44:11. Behold, all that are connected with it shall be

ashamed,

And the artificers, they above all men!

They shall assemble all of them; they shall stand

forth;

They shall fear; they shall be ashamed at the same

time.

"That is, while they stand before the image they have set up, and worship it with a religious dread, the glaring absurdity of their conduct shall lead to their shame and disgrace."

With due deference to this learned man, I think this interpretation too refined.
