Jeremiah 10:15

"Every man has become brutish and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them."

Key Reflection

In these verses, Jeremiah describes humanity's spiritual deterioration, likening people to animals without wisdom or understanding. He also critiques idols made by goldsmiths, pointing out their futility since they are false and lack any divine essence or life.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Rather, “They are vanity, a work of mockery,” deserving only ridicule and contempt.
