📚 Historical Context

Jeremiah wrote this during a time when the people of Judah were surrounded by nations worshiping various idols and false gods. In the preceding verses, Jeremiah had been contrasting the lifeless, powerless idols made by human hands with the living God of Israel. This declaration comes as part of his argument showing the vast difference between these false gods and the one true God.
