Imagine you're far from home and you're sad because you miss your family. Jeremiah is like a big brother saying, 'Why are you playing with toys that don't really help you, when you have a real family who loves you?'

Jeremiah, a prophet in the 6th century BCE, wrote this during a time of great distress for the Jewish people. The Babylonians had conquered Jerusalem, and the people were taken into exile. The verse reflects the people's cry and their misplaced faith in idols.
