Jeremiah 10:6-12
English Standard Version
Jeremiah 10:6-12
English Standard Version
6 (A)There is none like you, O Lord;
you are great, and your name is great in might.
7 (B)Who would not fear you, O King of the nations?
For this is your due;
for among all the wise ones of the nations
and in all their kingdoms
there is none like you.
8 (C)They are both (D)stupid and foolish;
the instruction of idols is but wood!
9 (E)Beaten silver is brought from (F)Tarshish,
and gold from (G)Uphaz.
(H)They are the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the goldsmith;
their clothing is violet and purple;
(I)they are all the work of skilled men.
10 (J)But the Lord is the true God;
(K)he is the living God and the everlasting King.
At his wrath the earth quakes,
and the nations cannot endure his indignation.
11 Thus shall you say to them: (L)“The gods who did not make the heavens and the earth (M)shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens.”[a]
12 (N)It is he who (O)made the earth by his power,
(P)who established the world by his wisdom,
and (Q)by his understanding stretched out the heavens.

you are great,(B)

King of the nations?(D)
This is your due.
Among all the wise leaders of the nations

they are taught by worthless wooden idols.(G)

all made by skilled workers.

Jeremiah 10:6-12
King James Version
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.
8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.
10 But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
