Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 10:4

4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

A farther description of their workmanship, having no other comelyness but what they confer upon it, and no great[illegible: 1 letter]r security or certainty of them, then as they can with hammer and nail make them fast, and fix them to some place, the wooden God being not able to preserve it self from falling, therefore it is rather to be meant of fastening to some wall, or pillar, then of fastening their parts together, because they seem to be cut out of one entire piece, and therefore need it not.
